Summary "We will file a petition in Islamabad High Court next week," prosecutor Azhar Chaudhry said.
ISLAMABAD, Dec 24, 2014 (AFP) - A Pakistan government prosecutor said Wednesday he would file a petition next week challenging an order granting bail to the alleged mastermind of the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai.
A judge in an Islamabad anti-terror court last week granted bail to Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, accused over the siege in India`s commercial capital that left 166 people dead.
The bail decision triggered a furious response from New Delhi and Pakistani prosecutors swiftly announced they would appeal against it.
"We will file a petition in Islamabad High Court next week," prosecutor Mohammad Azhar Chaudhry told AFP.
Chaudhry had originally planned to file the appeal on Monday, but had to delay it as he had not received a written copy of the bail ruling.
Lakhvi remains in custody in the high-security Adyala prison in the garrison city of Rawalpindi after the authorities ordered his detention under public order laws following the bail decision.
