The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has set terms of reference (TOR) of a commission constituted to safeguard the rights of people in property sale, purchase, transfer, allotment, cancellation and other related matters.
The office of the commission has been established at III Civic Centre, Quaid-e-Azam Town, Township. According to a news source, the commission has been set up under Section 32 of the LDA Act and the main purpose of the commission is to hear cases related to bona fide property disputes that have occurred before December 16, 2013.
This commission will not hear cases being heard in any court, but if a claimant withdraws their case from the court and submits it to the commission with an affidavit, the commission can consider it. An LDA spokesperson told reporters, however, that the commission’s verdict could be challenged in a court of law.
If you are the verifiable owner or purchaser of any disputed property, you can move the commission to probe your case and get a solution to it. Not only that, the commission can also be contacted to bring to its notice matters related to illegal housing schemes.
The spokesperson also stated that the applicants seeking resolution of their property-related disputes were required to prove their authenticity by providing certain details. Each applicant will have to pay Rs 5,000 as a deposit fee for the commission to process the case.
I personally believe that the development of a commission to resolve genuine property disputes of people is a great move by the LDA. There must be a number of people seeking resolution to their real estate-related problems, and now they can move the commission to find a solution to their longstanding issues.
