LHC stays demolition of 13 houses

These directions were issued on petition filed to seek sufficient time to challenge SC order

LAHORE: Justice Ali Akbar Qureshi of the Lahore High Court ordered the district administration to hold off the demolition of 13 hoses at Bagh Gull Begum in Mozang November 9.

These directions were issued on a petition filed to seek sufficient time to frame a challenge to an order of the Supreme Court.

Petitioner Pir Fakhar Shah filed the petition through his counsels Shahid Maqbool Shaikh and Safdar Shahin Pirzada.



He contended that LHC had ordered the demolition of 13 houses upon which the local administration served notices.

They told the court that they had concerns of the housing being demolished and therefore must be given sufficient time to file an appeal.

They requested the court to bar the local administration from demoliting their houses. At a result, the court stayed the demolition will November 9.
