ISLAMABAD:
The Supreme Court on Tuesday emphasised on payment of property regularisation fee during the suo motu hearing of the Bani Gala encroachment case.
A three-member bench headed by the top judge and comprising Justice Ijazul Ahsan and Justice Sajjad Ali Shah had previously directed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government to regularise all properties located in the federal capital’s suburbs including the sprawling residence of Prime Minister Imran Khan.

During the hearing, Justice Nisar observed that the construction was allowed in Bani Gala’s Zones 3 and 4 without a master plan.
If the Capital Development Authority (CDA) plans on building a new city in the suburbs, it shall have to buy the land and pay compensation, remarked the chief justice.
He further said the properties will be demolished if their owners failed to pay the regularisation fee.
Meanwhile, the additional attorney general informed the apex court that the premier had submitted a request along with a map to regularise his Bani Gala mansion. PM Imran’s defence counsel had argued that the regularisation charges were too high.

When the CJP summoned CDA chairman on the matter of regularisation of Zone 1, he was informed that the latter had already left the top court premises.
The bench adjourned the hearing till November 20.
