Pakistan-based Lashkar e Toiba's operations chief and Mumbai attacks mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi on Thursday failed to get any reprieve from the Lahore High Court, which disposed of his two petitions challenging his indictment for involvement in the 26/11 strikes.<br/><br/>While disposing of the petitions, a Rawalpindi-based bench of the Lahore High Court directed the anti-terrorism court, which had formally charged him along with six other suspects last month with involvement in the 26/11 strikes, to consider Lakhvi's objections against his indictment under provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code. <br/><br/>Lakhvi's counsel filed the petitions challenging his indictment in the Rawalpindi bench of the Lahore High Court on Wednesday. Lakhvi was indicted along with six other suspects for planning and helping execute the attacks that killed 166 people in Mumbai. <br/><br/>Lakhvi was formally indicted along with Zarar Shah, Hamad Amin Sadiq, Abu al Qama, Shahid Jamil Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Younas Anjum last month.<br/><br/>The next hearing of the case against them in the anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi's high-security Adiala jail is scheduled for Saturday.<br/>
