PAK-MUMBAI 2 LST

In his petition, Lakhvi said the proceedings against him
should be quashed and he should be acquitted under Section
265-K of the Code of Criminal Procedure on the grounds that
there was no evidence or witness against him.

He also contended that there was no probability that he
would be convicted.
Lakhvi also argued that under Pakistani law, Kasab's
confessional statement was inadmissible as evidence against
him because Kasab had not been named as an accused or declared
a "proclaimed offender" in three separate chargesheets
submitted by the Federal Investigation Agency.
The division bench of High Court, comprising Justices
Nasir Saeed and Khwaja Imtiaz Ahmed, reserved its decision
after listening to the arguments by the prosecution and the
defence.
However, Lahore High Court Chief Justice Khwaja Mohammad
Sharif recalled the two judges to Lahore and a decision is
expected to be announced by their replacements next week. PTI
