India has said that it is disappointed with the verdict passed by the Pakistan Supreme Court on Hafiz Saeed's involvement in the 26/11 terror attacks.

The Pakistan apex court dismissed the appeal filed by government agencies against the release of Jamaat-ud Dawa chief on Tuesday.

India has demanded action action Saeed for masterminding the 26/11 attacks that killed at least 170 poeple. India has submitted several dossiers of evidence against the JuD chief to Pakistan to prove its allegations.

Saeed was put under house arrest on December 11, 2008, after the UN Security Council banned the JuD, declaring it a front for Lashkar-e-Tayiba, which is blamed by India for the November 26 Mumbai attacks.

However, a Lahore High Court released Saeed from house arrest after six months.
