Saeed, who carries a bounty of USD 10 million on his head for his role in terror activities announced by the US, and his four aides are under house arrest in Lahore since January 30 under Pakistan's anti-terrorism law.
The JUD chief was put under house arrest previously after the terror attack in Mumbai in which 166 people were killed by 10 Lashkar-e-Taiba men, but he was freed by a court in 2009 due to a lack of evidence against him.
The trial in the Mumbai attack case has been pending for the past seven years. India has urged Pakistan to complete the trial at the earliest. It has said that enough evidence has been shared with Pakistan to prosecute the accused. But no proceeding in the case has been held on Wednesdays - the day fixed for hearing in the case - recently at the Adiala Jail Rawalpindi by an anti-terrorism court.
Lakhvi was freed two years ago after he secured bail in the case. He lives at an undisclosed location since then. The other six suspects are in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi.
