A division bench of Balochistan High Court (BHC) here on Wednesday adjourned hearing of a petition challenging the interference of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Balochistan's authorities in private land affairs in Gawadar port city.
The adjournment came when Ayaz Zahoor advocate, counsel for the petitioner Gawadar Builders (Pvt) Limited, undertook that he would provide copy of the petition to the respondents.
The bench consisting of Chief Justice Amanullah Khan and Justice Akhtar Zaman Malghani was hearing a constitutional petition filed by the chief executive officer Gawadar Builders (Pvt) Limited Company submitting that the company had purchased land measuring about 229 acre and the DG GDA issued NOC and approved layout plans for launching housing and commercial schemes in name of Globbiz Avenue Phase-I, II, III & IV in Gawadar port city.
He stated that the DG NAB Balochistan issued a notice on section of local press wherein declared the Globbiz Avenue schemes from Phase-I to IV as fictitious and bogus and the company as fake on June 10, 2008.
The petitioner further stated that he had contacted the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) authorities, and said them that they had no right to publish such notice as his company was not fake, besides he was legal owners of the properties as the competent authority had already issued NOC to the company in Gawadar.
He prayed to the court to declare act of the DG National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Balochistan as interfering in the company's affairs beyond the scope of NAB Ordinance 1999 and restrain the DG NAB Balochistan from interfering in the company's matters including the Globbiz Avenue from Phase-I to IV. The proceedings were adjourned to a date in office after four weeks.
