RECORDER REPORT Saturday, 19 Dec, 2009 4:45 am

ISLAMABAD : The Supreme Court on Friday cancelled a sub-lease of 4.958 acres of prime land in Karachi, meant for a playground which remains an amenity plot, to the Makro-Habib Store for commercial activity by the Army Welfare Trust (AWT).

The court directed Makro-Habib to remove its structures and installations from the playground within three months, restore it to the same condition as existed on the date of the sub-lease and hand over its vacant possession to the City District Government Karachi (CDGK).

A short order authored by Justice Jawwad S. Khawaja said, "the Government of Pakistan (acting in the name of the President) had no legal authority to grant leasehold rights in the said land to AWT, the lease dated 19.12.2002 in favour of AWT is without lawful authority, with the result that the same is cancelled and set at naught". more ......

OBITUARY

NISAR BALOCH

A courageous and committed man was killed on 7th November, 2009

Nisar Baloch, resident of Old Golimar, hero of Gutter Bagicha, was gunned down in cold blood by the land mafia. He had spent the last two decades fighting to save what is left of an amenity park in a congested section of this unfortunate city. There are very few persons like him in Pakistan.

We salute you, Nisar, and will miss you.
