ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has indefinitely adjourned hearing of petitions challenging the release of Jamaatud Dawa chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed.
Hafiz Saeed's counsel A K Dogar said the hearing of two petitions filed by the Federal and Punjab governments had been adjourned indefinitely by the apex court.
Sources say the move was apparently linked to the resignation of Punjab's Advocate General Raza Farooq, who was representing the provincial government in the hearings.
Saeed has been accused by India of being the mastermind behind the Mumbai attacks.
The apex court's direction comes two days after India said there was ‘enough evidence’ to continue the investigation against the Jamaatud Dawa chief in connection with the Mumbai attacks.
