ISLAMABAD: An anti-terrorism court in Pakistan has deferred its verdict against the Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed on 11 February 2020 in two cases of terrorist funding. At the same time, Hafiz himself had requested to postpone the decision. Judge of the Lahore Anti-Terrorism Court, ie ATC Judge Arshad Hussain Bhutta, reserved the judgment last week in two cases against the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (Jamaat-ud-Dawah, JuD) chief for providing funds for terrorist activities.
It is also being said that Hafiz Saeed had gone a new way to postpone the decision. At the same time, he gave an application before the ATC court on Saturday, 8 February 2020, requesting that all the cases of terrorist funding running against him should be clubbed and the verdict be given only after the joint hearing of the two cases. Judge Arshad Hussain Bhutta gave the next date after taking Hafiz's application. At the same time, the officials said that the deputy prosecutor opposed Saeed's plea and argued that in both the cases, the trial has been completed, in which case the court of law can give the verdict. But the court issued a notice to the prosecution and the defense, giving the 11th date for arguments on Saeed's fresh petition. Terrorist Hafiz Saeed had been introduced in the case amid heavy security arrangements.
It has been learned that both the above cases of terrorist funding were registered by the Anti-Terrorism Department of Punjab Police in Lahore and Gujranwala cities. Explain that the counter-terrorism department has registered a total of 23 FIRs against Hafiz and his associates. Saeed was arrested on 17 July last year. He is kept in Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore.
