Lakhvi had challenged his detention under a public security order in the high court here after the Pakistan government rejected his plea seeking release.
In the petition Lakhvi's counsel Raja Rizwan Abbasi had claimed that legal requirements were not fulfilled in the detention of Lakhvi.

Besides, the legal grounds the government had cited in the matter were not maintainable, he had said.
Islamabad anti-terrorism court judge Kausar Abbas Zaidi had on December 18 granted bail to Lakhvi citing lack of evidence against him in the Mumbai attacks case.
But before he could be released from jail, the government detained him for three more months under Public Maintenance Order in Adiala Jail where the trial is being held.

Lakhvi on Wednesday had submitted an application with the Pakistan government seeking an end to his detention under MPO.
The decision to grant bail to Lakhvi, 54, drew sharp criticism from India and surprised many for its timing, just days after Taliban massacred 148 people, mostly school children, in Peshawar.
Lakhvi and six other accused — 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 that took place on November 26, 2008, and left 166 people dead.
