Mumbai Court Delays Proclamation Execution Against 26/11 Absconding Accused Pending Ministry Response
Mumbai courts have deferred hearings on executing proclamation orders against six absconding accused, including Hafiz Saeed and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack case. The prosecution is awaiting a response from the Union Home Ministry to serve these orders through Interpol, as the accused reside in Pakistan. Under the 2023 criminal law, trials in absentia may proceed if the accused fail to appear after being declared proclaimed offenders. The next hearing is scheduled for late September or early October.
