Arshad Ali, the manager of the HBL branch, had filed the petition stating that the government had ordered the immediate demolition of the building following a change in the design of the MBS. He said it was impossible for HBL to wind up the branch immediately and sought 10 days. He asked the court to stop government officials from pressing the bank to shift immediately.
A lawyer representing the government said that the design had been changed to allow for space for the construction of an underpass at Qurtaba Chowk.
