ISLAMABAD: Regularisation of illegalities has become a norm in the federal capital and it must end “if rule of law has to be restored”, observed Islamabad High Court (IHC) Chief Justice Athar Minallah in the judgement passed in a case pertaining to Punjab Senior Minister Aleem Khan’s private housing society.
“It has been consistently observed and the same is the case in the petitions in hand that the Authority and public functionaries allow glaring violations of the law by looking the other way and once the damage has been done then resort is made to the policy of regularisation of the illegalities and blatant abuses of the law,” the court order said.
