ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday restrained the Capital Development Authority (CDA) from dispossessing the residents of One Constitution Avenue and issued a stay order on intra-court appeals filed against the dismissal of their writ petitions.
A division bench comprising Justice Muhammad Azam Khan and Justice Raja Inaam Ameen Minhas heard the appeals filed by the residents of One Constitution Avenue. During the proceedings, the court directed the CDA not to take any coercive action against the occupants till the next hearing.
The residents’ counsel, Sardar Taimur Aslam, said, “We want the CDA board to hear us and give us an opportunity to prove our innocence.”
Justice Khan inquired about the process of sub-leasing and whether it was documented with an institution or done informally.
