ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court on Tuesday granted time to the Capital Development Authority (CDA) to submit a reply in a case where a private developer has challenged the civic body’s decision to terminate contract for the land lease meant for a hotel and apartment complex. Justice Athar Minallah granted time to the CDA counsel till August 24. An associate of the firm had also requested the court to grant adjournment as the senior counsel, Aitzaz Ahsan, could not appear before the court due to an engagement before another court.
