The temple’s Pooraji and Shewadris had gone to court against a private builder, Ameen Lakhani, his partner Muhammad Shoaib and another who claimed to be the owner of the plot, Ismail Gora, for allegedly demolishing the worship place on December 2, 2012.
On Tuesday, the petitioners informed the bench, bench headed by Justice Maqool Baqar, that the officials had demolished the temple despite court orders.
