Pak SC to hear petition against Saeed on Jul 13

Islamabad, Jul 13: The Pakistan Supreme Court would start the hearing into the two separate petitions filed by the Pakistan's province Punjab government and the federal government respectively challenging the acquittal of the Jamaat-ud-Daawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and Colonel (retired) Nazir Ahmed on Monday, Jul 13.

Challenging the Lahore High Court's (LHC) verdict to release both leaders, of the banned terror outfit, the petition states that the judgment had emphasised a 'faulty assertion' that the detaining authority had no evidence to justify the detention of the accused, The Daily Times reports.

The petitions said that the LHC's decision highlights that the court didn't consider the sensitivity of the case, even when there is a massive terror threat looming over the country.
