LHC restrains Punjab govt, centre from arresting JuD chief Hafiz Saeed
[DAWN] The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday directed the federal and Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... governments not to arrest or put Jamaat-ud-Dawa ...the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba... chief Hafiz Saeed  ...founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba and its false-mustache offshoot Jamaat-ud-Dawa. The United Nations declared the JuD a terrorist organization in 2008 and Hafiz Saeed a terrorist as its leader. Hafiz, JuD and LeT are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Pak intel apparatus, so that amounted to squat... under house arrest until further orders, DawnNewsTV reported. Saeed on Jan 23 moved the court against his possible arrest, arguing that the government, under alleged pressure from the United States and India, wanted to arrest him. The court had directed the governments not to arrest him, and ordered them to submit their replies regarding the petitioner's allegations. The centre and Punjab governments, however, failed to submit their replies, and in today's hearing requested the court for more time to do so. The court expressed dismay over the respondents' failure to comply with orders, and Justice Ameenuddin Khan, who heard the case today, directed the counsel for both governments to file replies in the case by April 4.
