There must be millions of Pakistanis who have paid the required amount for their plot, plus development charges, but have not been given possession.

Everyone knows fighting a property case in court can take years. It is time that real-estate business in Pakistan is streamlined so that no one feels that their investment is unsafe or has to wait indefinitely.
