A Pakistani court today ordered quashing of two cases under an anti-terrorism law against JuD chief Hafiz Mohd Saeed, blamed by India for masterminding 26/11 attacks. The Court said he could not be charged under the act as his outfit is not banned in the country.<br/><br/>A two-judge bench of the Lahore High Court issued the order in response to a petition filed by Saeed last month in which he had challenged two First Information Reports registered against him by police in Faisalabad city of Punjab province under the Anti-Terrorism Act.<br/><br/>Police had booked him for allegedly inciting people to wage 'jehad' against infidels and seeking funds for the JuD during speeches he made in Faisalabad in August.<br/><br/>However, Justices Asif Saeed Khosa and Najamuz Zaman pointed out that since the JuD had not been included in the list of banned organizations under the first schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act, Saeed could not be charged under the law.<br/><br/>The court admitted Saeed's petition and ordered the quashing of the two FIRs. During the hearing, the counsel for the Punjab government acknowledged that the JuD was not in the list of banned terrorist groups. He said the JuD was only included in the government's watch list after the UN Security Council declared it a terrorist organization last year.<br/><br/>
