Plots allotment: LHC gives final chance to LDA to submit record

LAHORE: Lahore High Court (LHC) gave the last chance on Tuesday to the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) to present record of plots distributed among people in Garden Town by the then Punjab chief minister in 1988.

Justice Farrukh Irfan Khan also directed the Anti Corruption Establishment director general to submit a record of the inquiry held into the allotment of plots at the next hearing on September 15.

According to the petition filed by a citizen through Advocate Noshab A Khan, the then chief minister had misused his powers by distributing plots among his favourites.

The counsel said that the chief minister had no power to allot any land to any one without following the procedure set down in the law.
