Published August 26, 2006

KARACHI, Aug 25: The High Court of Sindh on Friday restrained the authorities concerned from carrying out demolition of constructions raised on 26 plots in Ali Mohammad Goth, North Karachi.

The directive was issued by a division bench comprising Justice Anwer Zaheer Jamali and Justice Zawar Hussain Jaffery, hearing a constitution petition filed by 26 people seeking the court order to restrain the authorities from carrying out demolition action on their respective plots.

The petitioners submitted that they were the lawful occupants of their plots but had received warning notices on Aug 16 that their constructions would be removed.—APP
