The Indian government will send court summons for Pakistan-based terrorist leader Hafiz Saeed to Islamabad via diplomatic channels in the Pahalgam terror attack case of 2025, sources have told NDTV. The move is significant for the legal proceedings as India seeks to place on record that the accused was given sufficient opportunity to appear before a court and present their side.
Next steps would include declaring him a Proclaimed Offender. Indian law permits investigation, trial, or judgment against a PO in their absence, as per Section 356 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.
