IHC seeks final arguments in Saidpur Village model village case
ISLAMABAD, Nov 10 (APP):The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tyesday sought arguments from lawyers on November 23, in a case against CDA’s operation in Saidpur Village to implement a plab to develop it as model village.
Justice Raja Inaam Ameen Minhas heard the petitions filed by more than 100 people, during which partial arguments by some petitioners’ counsels were completed. The court directed the remaining lawyers to present their arguments on November 23.
During the hearing, Justice Minhas observed that compensation to affected people must be paid before launching any new construction or development project. He also referred to the construction of Masjid-e-Nabawi, observing that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) had first decided to ensure payment of compensation before proceeding with the construction.
Counsel Rizwan Shabbir Kiani said there were 911 affected people in Saidpur Village.
Another counsel, Raja Rizwan Abbasi, informed the court that an order had been issued in 2008 to develop Saidpur Village as a model village. He requested the court to direct the CDA to implement its board’s decisions issued in 2008.
The court adjourned the hearing until November 23, directing the remaining counsels to conclude their arguments.
