LAHORE: The Lahore High Court spokesperson has clarified that a two-judge bench did not issue a notice to the ministry of interior on a petition seeking cancellation of FIRs registered against Jamatud Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed and others.

He said the bench comprising Justice Syed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi and Justice Chaudhry Mushtaq Ahmad only issued a notice to the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) and sought personal appearance of the SHO concerned on the next hearing.

Malik Zafar Iqbal, secretary of Al-Infal Trust, a subsidiary of JuD, had challenged the cases against 65 leaders and members of the organisation.
