The special court hearing the Mumbai attack case has issued non-bailable warrants against 22 of the absconding accused in the case.
On Monday, the public prosecutor had moved application for the warrants to be issued for 27 of them. Special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam had submitted a list of 27 absconding accused along with their addresses to the trial court and sought issue of warrants against them.
The judge M L Tahaliyani had asked the prosecutor how police proposed to execute the warrants if they were issued by the court.
Prosecutor Nikam replied that the authorities would execute the warrants through the Interpol.
"The addresses of absconding accused have been provided to the investigating agency by the Government of India," he said.
Earlier, the court had not issued warrants because it asked the prosecution to provide complete addresses of the accused, believed to be in Pakistan.
Of the 35 absconding accused, prosecution got addresses of only 27 and hence they have asked for warrants only against them.
Court has issued the NBW for 22 people as of now because addresses of the rest are untraceable.
