IHC orders to de-seal KP House

Two days after the Capital Development Authority (CDA) sealed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House in the federal capital, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) ruled on Thursday to remove the seal.
During the hearing of a plea filed by the KP government, IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq announced the court’s directives.
According to the legislation, the authority can issue notices to seal the property, Justice Farooq informed the CDA counsel. “Avoid giving the impression that you are going after someone.”
During the hearing, the authority’s attorney made arguments claiming that the site has been used for illegal building and that certain outstanding dues from the 2014 notice to the KP administration are still outstanding.
The attorney argued that the property’s lease had ended in 2014.
