India on Saturday allowed Pakistan to send a judicial commission for recording statements of Ajmal Kasab and others relating to the Mumbai Attacks probe.

The hearing for the Mumbai attacks case resumed at an anti terrorism court in Rawalpindi, where the public prosecutor presented a report.

The report states that the commission can question Magistrate RV Sawant Waghule, Investigation Officer Romesh and the 26 doctors who carried out a post mortem on the people killed during the attacks.

Earlier this month, Islamabad urged New Delhi to allow a Pakistani commission to visit India to gather more evidence for the prosecution of seven suspects linked to the 2008 Mumbai atacks.

The sole surviving attacker, Pakistani national Kasab, is on death row in India after being sentenced to death by a Mumbai court in May.

Both Delhi and Washington have blamed the Mumbai attacks, which killed 166 people, on the banned organization Lashkar-i-Taiba (LeT).
