| Full bench formed to hear Hafiz Saeed's detention case |
| 2009-05-06 |
| Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice (CJ) Khawaja Muhammad Sharif has formed a three-member full bench to hear a habeas corpus petition, challenging the detention of Jamaatud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed and another leader Col (r) Nazeer Ahmad. The bench comprising Justices Ijaz Ahmed Chaudhry, Hasnat Ahmad Khan and Zubdatul Hussan will hold the proceedings on Wednesday (today). Earlier, a single bench comprising Justice Ijaz Chaudhry was hearing the case. He had referred the case to the CJ after the state counsel argued that a larger bench should hear the case. Petitioner's counsel AK Dogar had objected to it on the plea that the bench should decide the petition immediately as referring the matter to a larger bench would cause a delay. |
