KARACHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday came down hard on the provincial and local authorities over unauthorised allotment of land and lack of town planning in the metropolis.
A three-judge SC bench headed by Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed slammed the Karachi commissioner, director general of the Sindh Building Control Authority and a senior member of the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) as they failed to offer any explanation about the incorporation of land reserved for a road into a plot in the Sindhi Muslim Housing Society.
The visibly irked chief justice wondered under what law a mukhtiarkar could operate on the land of a housing society after a report of the mukhtiarkar was placed before the bench about leasing out the plot in question and a 15-storey building known as Nasla Tower built on it.
