RAWALPINDI (NNI): The Lahore High Court on Wednesday turned down the request for an immediate desealing of the Lal Haveli whose ownserhip has been claimed by Shaikh Rasheed Ahmad.
LHC Rawalpindi bench Justice Mirza Waqas Rauf heard the case.
The ownership dispute case was heard in the high court. Advocate Sardar Abdul Raziq represented Sheikh Rasheed and his brother Sheikh Siddique, ETPB Deputy Administrator, and Additional Advocate General Siddique Awan attended the hearing.
Sheikh Rasheed’s lawyer contested the decision of the ETPB Chairman, asserting that all positions including Secretary and DG were concentrated in the Chairman’s office. They claimed their appeal went unheard.
The court granted an additional half-hour to the Additional Advocate General to provide information about the Chairman’s authority over the board and adjourned the hearing.
After the break, the court rejected the immediate desealing request for Lal Haveli but agreed to a regular hearing of the Lal Haveli case.
It was decided that the status of Lal Haveli would remain unchanged until the petition’s decision, which is scheduled for a detailed hearing on October 19, with no further adjournments allowed.
