13 years after 26/11 attacks, trial still going on before NIA court

Bombay High Court has stayed the trial against Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Abu Jundal
Thirteen years after 12 well co-ordinated and resulted in the death of almost 175 people, the trial is still going on before the National Investigation Agency (NIA) court.
The trial essentially against Syed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative who allegedly coordinated the 26/11 terror attacks from Karachi, has been stayed by the Bombay High Court on April 20, 2018.
The High Court stayed the proceedings as the Delhi police’s petition against a Sessions Court order is pending. The lower court had asked the police to provide the accused the travel documents of his trip from Saudi Arabia to Delhi in 2012. The Delhi police’s Special Cell had approached the High Court earlier this month claiming privilege over the documents and urging it to quash the trial court’s order.
