LAHORE:
The Border Area Committee submitted to Justice Umar Ata Bandial of the Lahore High Court on Friday that an NOC (no objection certification) from the General Headquarters was required to sell and purchase land allotted to military officers near the border.
The court was hearing a petition on the subject of not issuing NOCs for the sale and purchase of land near border areas. The court had previously ordered the committee to evolve rules and regulations for the sale and purchase of land within five kilometres of the Pak-India border line. Advocate Amir Chohan, representing the Border Area Committee, submitted a report on the rules. He said the GHQ had approved the rules recommended by the committee. The court recorded his statement and adjourned hearing for an indefinite period.
