Naval Sailing Club petitions

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday clubbed the intra court appeal of Ministry of Defence with other identical petitions about Naval Sailing Club and Naval farms.

The amount was collected from the navy officers to buy the land. The court clubbed all petitions and adjourned hearing till Monday 14th  of February, 2022.
