Contempt plea against shifting of Hafiz Saeed
 The family of Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed on Friday filed a contempt petition against the government for taking him to an undisclosed location during the period of his house arrest, the family's lawyer said. Police took away Mr. Saeed, who heads the Jamaat-ud-daawa, to an undisclosed location. "They should have sought the permission of the court before shifting him," Nazir Ahmed Ghazi, the lawyer representing the family, told The Hindu "That is the law of this country. They have not followed it." The family had mounted a legal challenge against Mr. Saeed's house arrest, and on Friday, the High Court heard arguments on both sides. Posted by: Fred 2006-08-27 |
