Lal Haveli de-sealed on LHC order

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday ordered to de-seal Lal Haveli in Rawalpindi, Bol News reported.

Following the LHC order, Lal Haveli was de-sealed even before the endowment department came. Workers of the Awami Muslim League opened doors of Lal Haveli before arrival of AML Chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed.

Sheikh Rashid was present outside the Haveli among his party workers.

On October 19, the LHC Rawalpindi bench had adjourned the Lal Haveli seal and registry cancellation case until October 25.

The arguments of the lawyer for Awami Muslim League (AML) chief and former Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed had been completed.

According to the lawyer of the AML chief, the ex-Chairman of Punjab Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) refused to cancel the registry to seal Lal Haveli.

However, the Lal Haveli was unwittingly sealed by bringing in a temporary chairman for three months.
