A US court on Tuesday adjourned till March 23 the status hearing of Pakistani-American LeT operative David Headley, charged with conspiring in the Mumbai terror strikes and plotting attacks against a Danish newspaper.

India favoured a "measured contact" with Pakistan but ruled out the resumption of the composite dialogue at this stage.

Insurance claims arising out of the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008 are estimated to wipe out about Rs 500 crore from the corpus set up by general insurers to fund such losses.

Notwithstanding Pakistan's insistence on resumption of dialogue, India on Tuesday made it clear that talks cannot take place till it shows seriousness about acting against perpetrators of 26/11 attacks and dismantling of terror infrastructure.

"Nahin, Nahin, Taap Nahin (No, No, I don't have fever)," these words in Marathi were uttered by Pakistani gunman Ajmal Kasab in the 26/11 terror trial court when the court staff enquired from him whether he was unwell.
