ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is demanding a third-party forensic audit of the multi-billion-rupee project for the construction of the Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) Legal Facilitation Centre.
The move comes as the legacy of costly flaws continues to haunt the main IHC building, which cost over Rs11 billion and came under severe criticism for faulty elevators, an inefficient cooling system and substandard work.
According to official documents and a contempt application filed before the IHC, serious concerns have emerged over the execution of the Legal Facilitation Centre project at Constitution Avenue.
The recent application filed by the CDA seeks the appointment of an independent technical auditor — preferably the National Engineering Services of Pakistan (NESPAK) — to verify executed work, measurements and excess quantities.
