ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) remarked on Thursday that the court should be provided a satisfactory reply as to how come a government officer could run a real estate business, directly or indirectly.
IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah took up for hearing a petition against running of a housing society by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) officers.
The court, while accepting the plea from the IB counsel seeking more time to file a reply, remarked that the court should be satisfied through arguments that a government officer could run a real estate business.
The judge asked the IB counsel whether the IB officers could get themselves involved in such a business. “What was going on there,” wondered the IHC CJ. “This is a serious matter,” he remarked.

All institutions are involved in real estate projects in Islamabad, remarked the chief justice of the Islamabad High Court.
“How can they be involved in such a business? This is a clear conflict of interest,” remarked Chief Justice Athar Minallah while hearing a case against the Intelligence Bureau Employees Cooperative Housing Society.
The court asked the IB lawyer if serving officers can be involved in running the management of a private property. The Capital Development Authority won’t be able to stop them in that case, he added.
