Lahore High Court on Thursday summoned the communication and orks Department secretary on a petition seeking contempt proceedings against him for defying a court order on compensation payment to a widow for land acquisition during the construction of Okara-Kasur Bypass Road. Advocate Tafazzul Haider Rizvi argued on behalf of Syeda Kaneez Fatima that the court had previously ordered the secretary to decide the matter. He said the government had not filed any appeal against the order. The counsel said the secretary had told his client the project was a farm-to-market road and had paid no compensation for the land acquired. Advocate Rizvi urged the court to initiate contempt proceedings against the secretary for defying the order. Justice Ayesha Malik directed the secretary to appear in person on June 29.
