Dismissing the case, the court observed: "Anti-terror law does not apply to Saeed."
The JuD chief is the alleged mastermind of the Mumbai terror attacks in November 2008 in which more than 170 people were killed.
Saeed's lawyer had all along maintained that the case against his client was weak.
It may be recalled that Pakistani police had registered two FIRs under the Anti-Terrorism Act against Saeed for making speeches last month in which he incited people to wage jehad against infidels.
The cases were filed in connection with Saeed's visit to Faisalabad on August 27 and 28. While addressing the gatherings, Saeed reportedly spoke of the importance of jehad and incited his followers to wage war on infidels. "Saeed had also sought donations from the gatherings for jehad," a source in a law enforcement agency said.
Saeed was placed under house arrest in December last year after the JuD was declared a terrorist organisation by the UN Security Council. He was freed on the orders of the Lahore High Court in June.
India has all along been maintaining that Pakistan should take action against Saeed for his alleged role in masterminding the Mumbai attacks. However, Islamabad has been consistently taking the stand that the evidence provided by New Delhi against the JuD chief is not adequate for arresting or prosecuting him.
This is not the first time that Saeed has been freed by the Lahore High Court. He was detained on December 21, 2001 in connection with India' accusations of his involvement with the December 13, 2001 attack on the Lok Sabha. He was held until March 31, 2002, arrested again on May 15, and was placed under house arrest on October 31 of the same year. India's stand was that it was HS who funded the attack. He was let off later.
He was again arrested on Aug 9, 2006 by the provincial government of Punjab in Pakistan for the July 11, 2006 Mumbai train bombings. He was released on August 28, 2006 after a Lahore High Court found no substantial evidence against him.


Charity begin with home. We are wasting the time to ask Pakistan to try Hafiz Saeed, for provoking speeches against India. Please read all the E-mails received in India from the Indian Mujahedeen's before Ahmedabad bomb blasts 2008 , Delhi Bomb blast in september 2008 and a abstract published in Hindustan Times on 27.11.2008 of the E-mail during the attacks on Mumbai on 26 /11.
We are not serious about our IB reports. Now in IE dated 11.10.2009 wrote on page 13
Home truth
by Coomi Kapoor. Our Hon'ble Home Minister have no power to discuss the daily IB reports with NSA, Sri M.K. Narayanan. The NSA said that policies on terrorism and fighting Naxalism have been framed not by the Home Ministry alone but by the Government of India. It means if IB give some important and urgent report to home Minister, the HM has to discuss with government before taking any urgent action Or sending the messages to State etc. WHO IS RUNNING THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT? INDIAN'S ARE NOT AT ALL SAFE IN THE HANDS OF THESE BLOODY POLITICIANS THOSE ARE HAVING TOO MUCH EGO PROBLEMS. WHO IS NSA? TO ADVICE HM LIKE THIS.

ALL OUR POLITICIANS SHOULD BE SEND TO PAKISTAN FOR TAKING TRAINING HOW TO DEAL IN SUCH CONDITIONS.
How can we be so naive to expect any other punishment for H Saeed. His people believe that he is waging a holy war against infidels and this is sanctioned in Islam.
It is the Islamic scriptures which are at fault. Multi weddings, at times with prepubescnt girls, talak system, status of women, purdah ,jihad are sanctioned in Islam, and hence any one preaching against these evils is a target. What justice is cynic talking of ?.We educated muslims in india are far better off under the constitutional laws inspite of so many problems.
India is ofcourse waiting and launching a protest.
