PESHAWAR, Nov 25: A 60-year-old woman has appealed to the government to provide protection to her family from her relatives who are not vacating her land despite a court order in this regard.

Talking to reporters at the Peshawar Press Club here on Thursday, Amtul Zari, a resident of Mehrdi village in Dargai tehsil, said the Peshawar High Court on May 15, 2000, had decided a property dispute in her favour and asked her cousins to give possession of the 55 kanals of land to her.

After a delay of four years she could gain the possession of the land on May 20, 2004. But, she said, her cousins Mohammad Ayub, Mohammad Hayat, Zafarullah and others reoccupied the land at gunpoint threatening to kill her two sons.

Despite registration of two FIRs with the Levy Post, Dargai, she could not get back her land. She said the accused persons got bail in both the cases and were asking her family to withdraw the cases warning them of dire consequences. She appealed to the president and chief justice of Pakistan to provide her justice and protection to her sons and other family members.
