KARACHI (92 News) – The Supreme Court (SC) on Friday has directed the Sindh government to evacuate official residences from illegal occupants across the province within two months.
Headed by Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed, an apex court bench directed the provincial government to cancel all illegal allotments and ensure that they are allotted to officials on a merit basis.
During the hearing, the court has ordered to assign the houses on merit to those who deserve them.
The apex court has also sought implementation report from the Sindh government and adjourned the hearing for two months.
Over the course of the hearing, Sindh’s additional advocate general said as many as 229 government residences have been illegally occupied and the process to clear illegal occupations was halted due to coronavirus.
A Capital Development Authority (CDA) lawyer informed the bench that the Inspector General Police (IGP), Islamabad’s residence too was allotted illegally as police have grabbed the CDA’s 200 quarters.
At this, the chief justice said the court would take up the issue of illegal occupation of quarters by police at the next hearing. The hearing of the case was adjourned for two months.
