A habeas corpus petition was filed on behalf of " Muhammed Saad Iqbal Madni" on December 13, 2005.
But his dossier was not one of those the DoD published.

Administrative Review Board
Detainees whose Combatant Status Review Tribunal labeled them "enemy combatants" were scheduled for annual Administrative Review Board hearings.  These hearings were designed to assess the threat a detainee might pose if released or transferred, and whether there were other factors that warranted his continued detention.

First annual Administrative Review Board
A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Hafez Qari Mohamed Saad Iqbal Madni's first
annual Administrative Review Board on October 19, 2005.
The two page memo listed nine
"primary factors favor[ing] continued detention" and zero
"primary factors favor[ing] release or transfer".
Those factors included denunciations from unnamed informants that he claimed to be a member of al Qaida, that he plotted assassinations, that he was related to a female member of the extremist Ak Ikhwan Al Muslimoon Group in Indonesia, and that he had stated:

Preliminary meeting with Assisting Military Officer
Madni's preliminary meeting with his Assisting Military Officer took place on November 29, 2005.  Madni said he would attend.  His Assisting Military Officer described him as responsive, polite and attentive, during this meeting, but highly skeptical, based on his experience Combatant Status Review Tribunal.

Second annual Administrative Review Board
A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Hafes Qari Mohammed Saad Iqbal Madni's second
annual Administrative Review Board on October 19, 2005.
The two page memo listed nine
"primary factors favor[ing] continued detention" and two
"primary factors favor[ing] release or transfer".
In addition to the allegations listed on the earlier memos the 2006 memo stated he had visited with members of al Qaida in Jakarta, Indonesia,
that he met the Secretary General of the Islamic Defenders Front,
that he had seen weapons at the house of his new militant acquaintances, and he had been told about two failed terrorist attacks in which they had participated—an attempt to use a car bomb against the US embassy, and an attempt to attack an airliner.  One factor offered as a justification for his further detention stated:

The detainee stated that because of his ability to memorize and sing the Koran at the age of twelve he became famous in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, he was introduced to presidents, kings and princes.  The detainee stated that he won approximately five million dollars in prize money from Koran competitions.

Third annual Administrative Review Board
A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Hafes Qari Mohammed Saad Iqbal Madni's
annual Administrative Review Board  on December 27, 2007.
The two page memo listed just four
"primary factors favor[ing] continued detention" and two
"primary factors favor[ing] release or transfer".
All four of the factors favoring his continued detention concerned a leadership role he played in a student group, the Sipah-e-Islam Pakistan, which was an adjunct to a violent anti-Shi'a group, the Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan.  The factors stated these two groups followed the Deobandi School, and were created in reaction to the Iranian revolution, and that the SSP group was behind the assassination of the Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan in the early 1990s.  More recently the groups organized political rallies.
The factors favoring his release or transfer stated that he feared being returned to Pakistan, and that:

The Board's recommendation was unanimous
The Board's recommendation was redacted.
England authorized his continued detention on March 17, 2008.

Habeas corpus petition
A writ of habeas corpus was filed on Hafez Qari Mohamed Saad Iqbal Madni's behalf.

Military Commissions Act
The Military Commissions Act of 2006 mandated that Guantanamo captives were no longer entitled to access the US civil justice system, so all outstanding habeas corpus petitions were stayed.

Boumediene v. Bush
On June 12, 2008 the United States Supreme Court ruled, in Boumediene v. Bush, that the Military Commissions Act could not remove the right for Guantanamo captives to access the US Federal Court system.  And all previous Guantanamo captives' habeas petitions were eligible to be re-instated.
The judges considering the captives' habeas petitions would be considering whether the evidence used to compile the allegations the men and boys were enemy combatants justified a classification of "enemy combatant".

Protective order
On 15 July 2008 Kristine A. Huskey filed a "NOTICE OF PETITIONERS' REQUEST FOR 30-DAYS NOTICE OF TRANSFER" on behalf of several dozen captives including Iqbal.

Repatriation
A former Guantanamo captive named as "Qari Saad Madni" was repatriated on September 8, 2008.
Pakistani officials stated he would soon be released without charge, following a debriefing.
The Associated Press reported that Madni claimed he had tried to commit suicide during his first year in detention.
On September 19, 2008 Richard L. Cys, James P. Walsh filed "Petitioner Muhammed Saad Iqbal Madni's response to court order to show cause why his petition should not be dismissed as moot", as part of 05-CV-2385, on behalf of Muhammed Saad Iqbal Madni.
Madni's lawyers argued his habeas petition should not be dismissed because he was entitled to continue to seek relief if his original detention was not legally justified.  Further, his lawyer had not been advised of the conditions agreed upon by the US Government and the Pakistani Government:

On 5 January 2009 the New York Times published a profile of Mohammed Saad Iqbal.
The profile chronicled serious health problems during and after his repatriation, and was illustrated with a picture of him standing in a walker.  The New York Times reported that senior US officials were prepared to confirm aspects of his account of himself—off the record.
They informed the New York Times that, shortly after he had apprehended in Jakarta, during his first two days of interrogation analysts had decided he was a braggart and "wannabe" and should be immediately released:

He was a talker. He wanted to believe he was more important than he was.
He was first transferred for four months to a brutal interrogation center in Egypt, where he was housed in a 4 x 6-foot (1.8 m) cell he said "like a grave", and subjected to electric shocks during his interrogation.
He was then transferred, for a year to the Bagram Theater Internment Facility.
He described harassment from other captives because he had never trained in Afghanistan.Richard L. Cys of Davis Wright Tremaine is seeking relief for his long detention without charge, and for the release of his medical records, which may document his torture claims.CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano denied Madni had been subjected to illegal treatment:
The agency's terrorist detention program has used lawful means of interrogation, reviewed and approved by the Department of Justice and briefed to the Congress. This individual, from what I have heard of his account, appears to be describing something utterly different. I have no idea what he's talking about. The United States does not conduct or condone torture.
On January 19, 2009, the Daily Times reported that Iqbal had held a press conference in Islamabad where he demanded compensation for the treatment he received.

Madani's declaration
Sa'd Iqbal Madani offered an affidavit in support of Ahmed Zaid Salem Zuhair's habeas corpus petition.He declared that he and Mamdouh Habib had been sent to Egypt for interrogation.  His interrogators were all Egyptians, but Americans were always present, and passed notes to the Egyptian interrogators.
His interrogations include electric shock, beatings, being interrogated while drugged, and being locked in a cell so small he could not sit up, or lie down.
He and Habib were transferred to the Bagram Theater Internment Facility, where he reported Koran desecration and brutal beatings.
In Bagram he was held in the same cell as Moazzam Begg and Ahmed Zaid Salem Zuhair.
three months of torture
He declared that as a consequence of his electric shocks to his head in Egypt he developed a life-threatening bone infection, but medical treatment was withheld because his interrogators characterized him as being uncooperative.  He declared he was confined the Psychiatric wing for six months—as punishment.

UK Legal Action
On August 19, 2009, the UK arm of the legal charity Reprieve commenced legal action on behalf of Mr Madni against the UK Foreign Secretary. The litigation seeks

disclosure of material held by the Secretary of State or within his control that evidences his extraordinary rendition through Diego Garcia and that would assist him in identifying and bringing proceedings against those US (and, if applicable, UK) personnel involved in his detention, unlawful
rendition and torture
