KARACHI:
The Supreme Court reserved its verdict on Friday on a plea filed by the Korangi Marriage Halls Association against the demolition of marriage halls at Korangi Crossing.
A three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Gulzar Ahmed and comprising Justice Ijazul Hassan and Justice Mazhar Alam, was hearing the plea at the SC Karachi registry.
Former attorney general of Pakistan Anwar Mansoor Khan, who was arguing the case on behalf of the association, contended that the Sindh Building Control Authority s (SBCA) rules allow the changing of status of residential plot into a commercial one. Therefore, he argued, the marriage halls at Korangi Crossing are legal.
