Earlier, two FIRs were filed against the JuD chief for inciting violence and jihad (holy war) through speeches. Following this, Saeed's lawyer AK Dogar had filed the petition in the Lahore High Court, saying the two FIRs registered against Saeed in Faisalabad last week were 'without lawful authority and of no legal effect'.

India, which claims to have provide enough proof on Saeed's involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks has been pressurising Pakistan to arrest and prosecute him. However, Pakistan filed minor cases against the alleged mastermind of the 26/11 attacks.
