KARACHI: The Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday ordered immediate demolition of all illegal marriage halls in the port city. A three-member SC bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Gulzar Ahmed heard various petitions related to marriage halls at the apex court’s Karachi Registry. Advocate Anwar Mansoor Khan, counsel for Korangi Marriage Halls Association, prayed that the marriage halls of Korangi were located on a commercial strip and had legal status. “The SBCA (Sindh Building Control Authority) should be stopped from demolishing the wedding halls. People do not like to live right on the roadside, that is why the strip has been commercialised,” the counsel prayed.
