Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Abdul Karim Tunda was today produced before a additional sessions court in connection with the 1996 Sonipat blasts case.
Four witnesses in the case recorded their testimony before the additional sessions court judge Jagdip Singh.
Five other witnesses who were supposed to be present today did not turn up, Tunda's lawyer Ashish Vatsa said.
The judge has ordered re-production of Tunda before the court on 8 January, when the matter would be heard next.
Amid tight security cover, the Delhi police brought Tunda to the court and Sonipat police had also provided additional security cover.
Tunda is accused of two blasts in Sonipat on 28 December 1996 which had left about a dozen people injured.
As many as 55 witnesses are to record their testimony in the case out of which 22 have already done that.
