<br/>Lashker-e-Taiba commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi has filed a petition in Pakistan's Supreme Court asking it to bar the prosecution from using Ajmal Amir Kasab's confessional statement against him. He is facing trial with six others for their alleged involvement in the Mumbai attacks. <br/><br/>Lakhvi's counsel Khwaja Sultan claimed the prosecution had not levelled any allegation against his client about his connection or interaction with any of the co-accused. Sultan said, the investigation of the case is based on the alleged confession of Kasab, who is in Indian custody. <br/><br/>He claimed that though three chargesheets were filed by the prosecution, no witness had supported Kasab's statement and Lakhvi was not accused of giving training to the terrorists involved in the attack. The prosecution has said that Lakhvi's lawyers are causing unnecessary hindrances in the trial by filing petitions in higher courts. The hearings in the anti-terror court have often been affected by these petitions.<br/>
