KARACHI: The Sindh High Court(SHC) has reserved its judgment on the plea to de-seal the dental clinic of former President Dr Arif Alvi.

Sindh High Court Justice Zafar Rajput heard the petition of former president Dr. Arif Alvi’s wife and son to de-seal the dental clinic during which the Alvi’s lawyer and representatives of the Sindh Building Control Authority(SBCA)  appeared.

The court expressed annoyance at the reply of the counsel of SBCA and said that while SBCA has people to collect money, they mostly focus on collecting money instead of taking action against illegal constructions.

Later, the court reserved its decision on the petition to de-seal the clinic.

It should be noted that Dr. Arif Alvi’s dental clinic located in the Sindhi Muslim Cooperative Housing Society was sealed by the Sindh Building Control Authority at the beginning of this month.
