The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Monday barred Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) from taking any adverse action in respect of razing a wedding lawn in Bahadurabad area.
A division bench headed by Justice Hassan Azhar Rizvi gave this restraining order on a petition filed by M/S Orenz Events Management Company against civic authorities for demolishing its lawn.
The bench issued notice to the respondents - Sindh Chief Secretary, Karachi Metropolitan Corporation's administrator and its anti-encroachment cell and others to file comments on petition till April 27.
The petitioner's counsel submitted that in 2011 Bahadur Yar Jung Cooperative Housing Society had leased out a plot in Block 3, Bahadurabab to Bahadurabad Club Private Limited for setting up a club for welfare of the society members. Subsequently, the club management, in order to run its affairs smoothly and meet expenses, entered into an agreement with the petitioner and allotted a portion of the club to the petitioner for establishing a wedding lawn.
