ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Tuesday ordered the Capital Development Authority (CDA) to de-seal the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Central Secretariat, providing relief to the former ruling party.
“The CDA may take action strictly in accordance with law in case of any non-conformity or violation of the applicable laws,” IHC’s Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz stated in a six-page written order. The order said that CDA had issued notice and show-cause notice to the previous owner in 2022 and 2023, however, it failed to provide an explanation for sending the notices. The court, in its order, also said that no receipt of such notice or show-cause notice is on record.
Moreover, the CDA did not issue a prior notice to the PTI before sealing its office.
The order also said that the sealing order was neither addressed nor copied to the petitioner let alone any evidence of service of the same.
