IHC reserves judgment on PTI central secretariat seal case

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) reserved judgment on the petition against the sealing of the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf(PTI)  central secretariat and the operation of the Capital Development Authority (CDA).

Islamabad High Court Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz heard the petition in which lawyers Shoaib Shaheen and Umeer Baloch appeared in the court on behalf of PTI leader Omar Ayub.

CDA lawyer Hafiz Arafat and the State Council appeared on behalf of the district administration.

During the hearing, PTI’s counsel argued that CDA had placed notices in its records but did not mention the current notice and that CDA had committed fraud. The CTD did not send notices to PTI but to Sartaj Ali.

Shoaib Shaheen said that it was stated in the media that we were handing over land to Sartaj Ali, at the time of the operation he also told the media that we did not notify PTI.

The CDA lawyer said in the court that he believed that he bought the commercial plot and changed its use. The commercial plot was used for the party, which affected the people there. They built more on it as much as was allowed.

On this, the court asked the CDA lawyer who noticed it had been said that this plot could not be used for any other purpose.

The court said, “We have seen several cases in which the CDA sometimes gives notice to one and sometimes to the other. You don’t give notice to the landlord and the tenant in such cases so that the matter ends at once.”
