The Pakistan government's appeal against the bail to 26/11 plotter Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi will be heard by a court in Islamabad today.
"The Islamabad high court has fixed January 6 for hearing of the government's plea against Lakhvi's bail on its request. A division bench has been constituted to take up the matter," an official told PTI.
He said the government had requested the high court to consider the matter "urgent" and fix the date of hearing at earliest.
"The court has also issued a notice to respondent Lakhvi for Tuesday's hearing," the official said.
Yesterday, the Pakistan government challenged Lashkar-e-Tayiba operations commander Lakhvi's bail in the HC, saying an anti-terrorism court ignored testimony in the 26/11 case while granting bail to him.
