Punjab challenges Lakhvi’s release in Supreme Court

The Punjab government on Tuesday challenged in the Supreme Court the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) release orders for Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, one of the key accused in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

The petition filed by the Punjab Home Department maintains that there was sufficient evidence against Lakhvi but LHC’s Justice Anwarul Haq had ignored it and ordered his release on April 10. The petition requests that the LHC’s decision to release Lakhvi be suspended with the top court permitting to restore his detention under Maintenance of Public Order.
