Justice Muhammad Akhtar Shabbir of the Lahore High Court postponed till October 16 a hearing on a petition challenging the detention of Jammatud Dawa (JD) ameer Hafiz Mohammad Saeed after the Punjab additional advocate general sought time to produce record. The justice asked AAG Chaudhry Muhammad Haneef Khatana why the government was unable to present the detention orders on Wednesday.| “Khatana said Hafiz Saeed was in good health at Canal Rest House and he would not have any trouble spending another five days in detention.” |
The appellantÂ’s counsel Nazeer Ahmad Ghazi alleged that the detention orders were taking time to arrive in Lahore from Washington. Khatana said Hafiz Saeed was in good health at Canal Rest House and he would not have any trouble spending another five days in detention. Referring to house-arrest of late Maulana Abdus Sattar Niazi and Ghulam Gillani, Ghazi said both were brought to the court everyday during the hearing of their cases, therefore Hafiz Saeed should also be brought to the court during the hearing.
