A Pakistani court today will hear the case related to the 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai.
The Anti-Terrorism Court Rawalpindi had held a hearing last week seeking an answer from the interior ministry about presenting 24 Indian witnesses in the case.
The interior ministry was issued a notice to reply on the matter by July 5.
Despite recording statements from numerous Pakistani officials and private witnesses the Pakistani authorities have been insisting on sending Indian witnesses for reaching on a verdict.
Even after ten of the attack, Pakistan has not punished a single suspect in the case. The courts have, however, completed hearing from of all 70 prosecution witnesses.
The weekly hearing in the case is also stalled and is not held regularly.
Pakistan had earlier written to India saying that the case may not further proceed until the Indian government sends its 24 witnesses to Pakistan to record their statements, PTI stated. To which India replied demanding a trial for Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed based on the evidence provided.
The terror attack by Pakistani outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba had killed 166 people in Mumbai on November 26, 2008.
In an interview to a Pakistani media in May, ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif had also admitted to Pakistan's role in the 26/11 terror attacks.
