Land Ownership: Court summons DCO

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court Chief Justice has summoned the Lahore DCO for Tuesday (today) when a petitioner complained that he had not been provided farde malkiat (ownership documents of land) despite a court order. Petitioner Khalid Saeed submitted that a bench of the High Court had directed the patwari of Kahna to issue him the farde malkiat without any delay but the patwari had ignored the orders. He said he also had approached the DCO for the implementation of court orders but had not been successful. The petitioner sought contempt of court proceedings against the DCO for not complying with the court orders.
