London High Court freezes MQM founder’s six properties

A London High Court Judge has on Saturday ordered to freeze all six trust properties controlled by the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder.

London High Court’s Judge Peter Knox in the court order also frozen the MQM founder’s palatial residence where he presently resides with his associates.

Six London properties also included the MQM Secretariat premises in London. These properties included Abbey View house, High View Gardens first house, Whitchurch Lane first house, Brookfield Avenue house, High View Gardens second house, Whitchurch Lane second house and the MQM office in Elizabeth House.

The court’s freezing order means the MQM founder and his associates could stay in the properties till the court decision on the case but these properties could not be sold.

The case will now proceed to in due course within a few months, sources said.
