Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, chief of the banned JuD and blamed by India for masterminding the Mumbai terror attacks, filed a petition in a Pakistani court on Thursday seeking the discharge of two fake cases registered against him under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

The writ petition, filed in the Lahore High Court by Saeed's lawyer AK Dogar, said that the two First Information Reports registered against the JuD chief in Faisalabad last week were without lawful authority and of no legal effect.
