Mumbai, Nov 3 (PTI) The long-stalled trial of Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, who taught Hindi and local mannerisms to the 10 terrorists involved in the horrific 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, is set to finally resume as the Bombay High Court on Monday quashed a lower court order asking authorities hand over confidential documents to the accused.

A bench of Justice R N Laddha allowed the petition filed by the Delhi Police, the Ministry of Civil Aviation, and the Ministry of External Affairs challenging the trial court's 2018 directive that required them to furnish specific confidential documents sought by Ansari.

The trial in the 26/11 terror attacks case against Ansari had been on hold since 2018, pending the resolution of a petition filed by government authorities.
