The Pakistan supreme Court on Wednesday overturned the high court order granting bail to Lakhvi.
The apex court sent the case back to the Islamabad high court directing it to hear the arguments again and decide on merit without rushing through.

On December 18, 2014, the Anti-Terrorism Court had granted bail to Lakhvi, who was involved in planning, financing and executing the Mumbai terror attacks in November 2008.
Next day, he was again detained under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO).
However, Islamabad high court judge Noorul Haq Qureshi had suspended Lakhvi's detention under MPO, evoking a strong reaction from India.
Just before he was to be released, Lakhvi was arrested on charges of kidnapping Afghan national Muhammad Anwar Khan.
The police kept him at the Shalimar Police station here for a two-day physical remand before a magistrate sent him back to Adiala Jail yesterday for a 14-day judicial custody.
Lakhvi has been detained at Adiala Prison for the last five years or so.
Lakhvi and six others - Abdul Wajid, Mazhar Iqbal, Hamad Amin Sadiq, Shahid Jameel Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Younis Anjum - have been charged with planning and executing the Mumbai attacks in November, 2008 that left 166 people dead.
