The Sindh High Court has issued a contempt of court notice to the Secretary, Culture, Tourism & Antiquities
Department while hearing a petition regarding protection of seven historical buildings in Shikarpur, including Budha Ashram.
The court has also sought details of endowment funds from the past 10 years and the allocations in the upcoming budget.
A two-judge bench, headed by Justice Salahuddin Panhwar, took up the petition on Saturday in which the petitioner, Shahab Awastu, raised concerns over the government’s failure to protect these historical buildings.
Expressing dismay over the official negligence, Justice Panhwar questioned the absence of the culture secretary, observing that these buildings are under government custody and should not be utilised by unauthorised entities.
