‘Will move High Court over Pakistan court order on 26/11 boat’

The prosecution in the 2008 Mumbai attack case will challenge in the Lahore HC the rejection of its plea by a Pakistani anti-terrorism court to form a commission to examine the boat used by LeT terrorists to reach the Indian coast.
“We are going to challenge the trial court’s decision to reject our plea regarding formation of a commission to examine the boat —Al-Fauz — used by alleged terrorists of Mumbai attacks in the Lahore HC,” a prosecution lawyer said.
He said the prosecution was preparing a petition in this regard and would soon challenge the Anti-Terrorism court (ATC) Islamabad’s verdict in the superior court.
The prosecution believes the boat is a “case property” and it needs a government commission to examine and endorsement in this respect, he said.
During a hearing on January 13, the ATC dismissed the plea of the prosecution to form the commission.
No hearing was held on Wednesday as the judge was busy in another case. The court adjourned the hearing till January 27.
According to the federal investigation agency, Mumbai attackers used three boats, including Al-Fauz, to reach Mumbai from Karachi.
