The hearing of appeals against the suspension of construction work on a flyover and two underpasses in Clifton was adjourned for want of time to a date in office. A division bench of Sindh High Court (SHC) headed by Justice Irfan Saadat Khan adjourned the matter to a date later to be fixed by court office.
Earlier, counsel for the KMC, Farooq H. Naek, filed an application requesting the SHC to fix the matter for an early hearing as it was of national importance and if the matter was delayed, it would cause inconvenience to the public. While allowing appeal of the KMC, the court had fixed the matter for hearing on May 26.
The KMC and Bahria Town have approached the court challenging an order of the SHC single bench that ordered suspension of construction on the project. Advocate Naek submitted that a huge investment had been made in pursuance of the project and the entire excavation and a major portion of the work had been completed. Besides the investment, a lot of hardship was being caused to commuters due to the suspension of the work, he added.
