Pakistan court blocks move to release US man
The Lahore high court also ordered the government to place the name of Raymond Davis on the "exit control list" to prevent him from leaving Pakistan.
The US embassy has called for Mr Davis to be freed, saying he has diplomatic status and is immune from prosecution.
Mr Davis has admitted that he shot the men but says he acted in self-defence because they were trying to rob him.
He is in custody while police investigate the shooting and has been charged with the murder of the two men.
"I am restraining him [from being handed over to US authorities]. Whether he has or does not have [diplomatic] immunity will be decided by the court," the AFP news agency quoted Lahore chief justice Ijaz Ahmed Chaudhry as saying.
"An order is issued to put his name on the exit control list. The case is adjourned for 15 days," he said.
Pakistan's government has asked the court for time to determine whether Mr Davis has diplomatic immunity or not. The authorities have previously said he is not among foreign security personnel authorised to carry firearms in the country.
