He said a two-member bench of the LHC comprising Justices Shahbaz Rizvi and Tariq Mahmood Bajwa has fixed the petition for hearing. The date of the hearing will be notified later. Saeed, a UN-designated terrorist on whom the US had placed a USD 10 million bounty, was arrested in July 2019 in the terror financing cases.
Saeed, who has been in Lahore’s Kot Lakhpat Jail since 2019, was subsequently convicted in terror financing cases for multiple years. However, there are unconfirmed reports that Saeed is not in jail and is living in a “safe place.” He is the founder of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is responsible for carrying out the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks that killed 166 people.
