M. M. ALAM

KARACHI: Sindh High Court (SHC) has ordered Bahria Town to halt all construction activities on 284 acres of disputed land.

According to details during today’s hearing petitioner Wali Muhammad has maintained that Government of Sindh and MDA had illegally allotted 284 acres of land to Bahria Town. 

Applicants were allotted plots on 99-year lease at Gadap’s Usman Allah Rakhio Goth. But Bahria Town using influence got the allottees ejected.

SHC, appointing Nazir as commissioner,  has asked for submission of a report in this respect within 15 days. 

It is pertinent to mention here that despite SHC’s stay construction is going on full swing on the disputed land.
