New Delhi: A Delhi court is likely to pronounce its order on the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) chargesheet against American Lashkar operative David Coleman Headley. Last month, the agency had charged him and eight others including JuD chief Hafiz Mohd Saeed and Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi.
They were chargesheeted for hatching the 26/11 conspiracy.
Headley entered into plea bargain with the United States without taking India into confidence. Headley did a recce of the 26/11 targets for the Lashkar-e-Toiba, which carried out the attack on November 26, 2008.
A metropolitan magistrate's court in Mumbai has already issued letters rogatory to a US court in October 2011, requesting it to enable Mumbai police to question Headley and his accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana in the 26/11 terror attacks case.
Rana was convicted for helping Lashkar-e-Toiba in a plot to attack a Danish newspaper. However, he was acquitted of federal charges that he aided the terrorists who carried out the attacks in Mumbai after an eight-day trial in Chicago.
At least 166 people were killed with many of them being foreign nationals in the attack on India's financial capital.
Meanwhile, a Pakistan court has approved the move to send trial court records of suspects to India.
