KARACHI:
The Supreme Court reserved its verdict on Friday on a plea filed by the Korangi Marriage Halls Association against the demolition of marriage halls at Korangi Crossing.
A three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Gulzar Ahmed and comprising Justice Ijazul Hassan and Justice Mazhar Alam, was hearing the plea at the SC Karachi registry.
Former attorney general of Pakistan Anwar Mansoor Khan, who was arguing the case on behalf of the association, contended that the Sindh Building Control Authority s (SBCA) rules allow the changing of status of residential plot into a commercial one. Therefore, he argued, the marriage halls at Korangi Crossing are legal.
KARACHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday came down hard on the provincial and local authorities over unauthorised allotment of land and lack of town planning in the metropolis.
A three-judge SC bench headed by Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed slammed the Karachi commissioner, director general of the Sindh Building Control Authority and a senior member of the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) as they failed to offer any explanation about the incorporation of land reserved for a road into a plot in the Sindhi Muslim Housing Society.
The visibly irked chief justice wondered under what law a mukhtiarkar could operate on the land of a housing society after a report of the mukhtiarkar was placed before the bench about leasing out the plot in question and a 15-storey building known as Nasla Tower built on it.
