The Sindh High Court (SHC) has sought a report from the Sindh government, Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA), and other authorities concerned in the case of encroachment on welfare plots in the Jamshed Town area of the city.
A two-member bench of the SHC headed by Justice Aqeel Ahmed Abbasi heard an application on the case and ordered the authorities concerned to take action on the matter.
According to the petitioner's lawyer, a builder was illegally erecting a commercial tower, Shajra Residency, on welfare plots number 676 and 677 despite the court orders to halt it.
He said SBCA and other departments have failed to take any action against the builder.
The court ordered a halt to the illegal constructions and sought a report from the Sindh government, SBCA, and other concerned departments.
