The next hearing in the Mumbai terror attack case in Pakistan has been scheduled for January 25, an official said today.
Mumbai attack mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, Abdul Wajid, Mazhar Iqbal, Hamad Amin Sadiq, Shahid Jameel Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Younis Anjum have been facing charges of abetment to murder, attempted murder, planning and executing the 2008 Mumbai attack.
Next hearing of the case is scheduled for January 25, a court official said.
India has been urging Pakistan to complete the trial at the earliest.
It has said that enough evidence has been shared with Pakistan to prosecute the accused.
Lakhvi got his freedom about 20 months ago after he secured bail in the case. He has been living in undisclosed location since then. The other six suspects are in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi.
The case has been going on for more than six and a half years.
166 people were killed in the attack carried out by 10 LeT men.
