The Pakistan Supreme Court has cancelled the 26/11 plotter Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi's bail plea.

The Pakistan government had challenged the Lashkar-e-Tayiba operations commander Lakhvi's bail saying an anti-terrorism court ignored testimony in the 26/11 case while granting bail to him.

Lakhvi has been detained at Adiala Prison for the last five years or so.
Lakhvi and six others -- Abdul Wajid, Mazhar Iqbal, Hamad Amin Sadiq, Shahid Jameel Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Younis Anjum -- have been charged with planning and executing the Mumbai attacks in November, 2008 that left 166 people dead.

Lakhvi was arrested in December 2008 and was indicted along with the six others on November 25, 2009 in connection with the case. The trial has been underway since 2009.
