Islamabad: CDA Declares Bari Imam House Building an Encroachment on Acquired Land

capital development authority

ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has submitted a response to the Islamabad High Court through a miscellaneous application, stating that no building named Bari Imam House exists in its official records. It further maintained that the land in Noorpur Shahan had previously been acquired by the CDA and compensation had already been paid to the owners.

In its response, the CDA stated that the site of the shrine of Hazrat Bari Imam is separately recorded in official documents under different identification numbers. It clarified that the building known as Bari Imam House has no connection with the shrine of Hazrat Bari Imam. Merely naming the building Bari Imam House or associating it with the shrine does not grant the petitioner any legal ownership rights over the land.

The response submitted to the court further stated that, according to the location details and revenue department records, Bari Imam House and the shrine of Bari Imam are two separate properties and cannot be treated as one. It added that the petitioner has no legal authority to occupy or use the land on which Bari Imam House is situated.

The CDA also argued that the court had issued a stay order without first obtaining its response. It raised objections regarding the petitioner’s legal standing and the maintainability of the petition, requesting that the case be fixed for an early hearing this week.

It is worth mentioning that the Islamabad High Court has already granted a stay order in connection with the petition filed by the petitioner over Bari Imam House. The CDA has now approached the court seeking the vacation of the stay order.
