Islamabad, Dec 27 (IBNS): A Pakistani court has said top Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Zaki ur Rehman Lakhvi was granted bail due to legal loopholes in the Mumbai attacks case.

The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) Islamabad has stated it in its written order.

"The order added that weak evidence, the registration of the FIR invoking irrelevant sections against the suspect, the ‘never-ending’ trial and hearsay evidence went in favour of the accused," Dawn News reported.

Lakhvi was given bail by a court in Islamabad earlier which said the prosecution could not proved enough against him.

Lakhvi was in Aadiyala jail in Rawalpindi since his arrest in 2009.

The bail had triggered a furious response from India, who rejected freeing Lakhvi.

A series of twelve coordinated shooting and bombing attacks in Nov 2008 across Mumbai in hotels, religious place, railway station carried out by Pakistani members of Lashkar-e-Taiba.had killed 164 people and wounded at least 308.
