The Lahore High Court here on Monday restrained excise wing of city district government from recovering property tax levied on Model Town Sports Club. The court restraining the government from taking any coercive measure against the club administration for recovery of the impugned tax and directed it to submit reply by January 10, 2015.
The petitioner president of the sports club, Rao Akbar through counsel argued that the district government sent a notice to the club requiring paying Rs 950,000 as property tax. He said the club was not supposed to pay property or any other tax as it was the responsibility of Model Town Society as club paid its rent, he added. The counsel therefore prayed to court to set aside the property tax notice issued by the government for being illegal.
