LHC seeks explanation from RUDA on alleged violations of stay orders Lahore April 7, 2021 LAHORE:The Lahore High Court on Tuesday expressed displeasure on the alleged violations of stay orders regarding Ravi Riverfront Urban Development Project and sought an explanation from the Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA). Justice Shahid Karim was hearing a petition filed on behalf of the landowners and affectees in the area of the riverfront development project. The petitioners challenged the mode and manner of the land acquisition proceedings undertaken by RUDA for the project. They claimed that the hearing for the objections on the land acquisition was to be held on March 2, 2021, however, due to a law and order situation created on that day, no hearing could be held. However, despite these circumstances, they said, the land acquisition collector of the RUDA passed 18 awards on the same day amounting to multiple billion rupees.
