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.
