Pakistan court dismisses plea challenging Hafiz Saeed’s detention

Date:

A Pakistani court today dismissed a petition challenging the detention of Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief and Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Mohammad Saeed. Lahore High Court Justice Erum Sajjad Gull dismissed the petition filed by a senior lawyer on ‘technical’ ground after hearing the arguments.

The court observed the petitioner had not furnished the impugned notification of Saeed’s detention. Interestingly, during the hearing, Saeed’s counsel advocate A K Dogar appeared before the judge and requested not to give any ‘adverse judgement’ in this case.

Hussain said there has been no nexus with the anti-terrorism laws which are manoeuvred by the respondent to curtail the liberty of a Pakistani citizen on the behest of the foreign mission and UNSC resolution. He said Saeed has made the Kashmir issue alive.

The petitioner prayed to the court to accept the petition instantly and “set Saeed at liberty in the larger interest of justice, equity and fair play to meet the ends of justice”.
