HYDERABAD, Nov 9: A leader of the Awami National Party has appealed to federal and provincial governments and the chief justice of the Sindh High Court to take notice of violation of a court order by railway officials and police who had dispossessed him of his property.

Speaking at a news conference at the press club here on Monday, ANP Central Committee member Aurangzeb Khan Yousufzai said he had a dispute with the railway department over a one acre plot in Narejo Deh, Latifabad taluka, near the Gharib Nawaz Bridge, for 18 years.

He said the matter had gone to the Sindh High Court which had directed that the parties could agitate the matter in the civil court. He said he then had filed a civil suit in the court of the second senior civil judge of Hyderabad.

Mr Yousufzai claimed that the railway department had failed to prove that the said plot was its property.

He said the judge on Nov 6 issued an injunction in his favour and directed the railway department not to interfere in the matter.

He, however, alleged that in violation of the court order the railway officials and police on Sunday demolished the boundary wall of the plot, took away 100 bags of cement and iron and arrested his employee, Shero, whose whereabouts were not known. He also distributed certified copies of the court order.
