SC orders closure of all restaurants in Margalla Hills including Monal

On Tuesday, the  Monal Restaurant and all other restaurants within the Margalla Hills National Park (MHPN) were ordered to close by the Supreme Court.
The orders were given in response to a court order dated March 11 that requested the full property ownership record for the restaurant.
Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa presided over a three-person bench of the highest court, which considered the applications submitted by the Wildlife Department and the Margalla Hills-based Monal Restaurant.
Earlier on March 8, the supreme court suspended the Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) decision and ordered the cafe to remove its seal.
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) was requested by the court to provide original documentation pertaining to the 8,600 acres of MHPN land.
