LAHORE: The commission being constituted under an ordinance to legalise illegal housing schemes, including those falling in green areas, can be challenged in courts, says a lawyer.
Lawyer Zafar Iqbal Kalanauri calls the ordinance unlawful, unconstitutional, and unethical that was prepared and issued a certain class of society. “Though, it is written in the ordinance that no court shall take cognizance of any matter covered under its provisions, the ordinance, the composition of the commission and the decision taken by it to regularize illegal housing schemes can be challenged in the high court under article 199 of the constitution,” he explained. “However, its decision cannot be heard by the lower courts (civil and session courts) under this ordinance,” he clarified.
Naazish Ataullah: Pause
Some unfamiliar billboards are now visible against Lahore’s skyline. Instead of selling a product, or promoting a service, offering new housing opportunities, supporting a political party, advocating a cause or celebrating a hero or leader; these hoardings have no direct message, or no message at all.
These suspended-from-the-sky rectangles advertise something more complex, and sublime: art. A project “initiated by the Lahore Biennale Foundation (LBF) and the Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) to exhibit artworks of 16 artists at various locations in Lahore as homage to the city and its citizens”.
Works by these artists (seven created especially for the occasion) were printed on a large scale to fit billboards, and remained on view from November 24 to December 4.
