Scrap dealers allowed to remove goods from shops

SHC ordered CBC to 'de-seal' the shops

KARACHI:

The Sindh High Court has allowed shopkeepers to take out merchandise from sealed scrap shops in Defence Housing Authority (DHA).

The court heard petitions filed against the notice of Cantonment Board Clifton (CBC) and DHA administration regarding vacating scrap shops in different DHA areas. The court ordered the CBC to de-seal the shops so that shopkeepers can take out merchandise.

Raja Mansoor Advocate stated that the CBC had sealed dozens of scrap shops in Nishat Commercial, Ittehad Commercial and Bukhari Commercial areas.

The petitioners' lawyers argued that the shopkeepers should be allowed to remove the goods. The court granted the permission and ordered compilation of records of the goods taken out from the shops.
