A civil court in Rawalpindi on Saturday rejected Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid’s petition challenging the Lal Haveli’s evacuation orders.
Judge Naveed Akhtar said that the court could not stop any department from taking action under the law.
The court postponed the hearing till Feb 15.
The AML chief had argued in his petition that the evacuation of Lal Haveli was political victimisation as the case related to the property was already in litigation.
Rashid prayed in his plea that the Evacuee Trust Property Board be stopped from taking action that, he alleged, was a part of “settling the score against him”.
