When will the Eden Smart Homes fraud case will be resolved? I am an overseas Pakistani and the authorities of Eden Smart Homes committed to handover the possession of my home in 2012 but now it’s 2021 and I am still waiting. A few years back Nab asked to all the Effectee to submit the details of their complaint regarding this fraud with all the evidences. I recorded my complaint in Nab as well as registered the complaint in Pakistan portal for overseas but all in vain. In Pakistan Portal, my complaint was closed by saying “partially resolved as the case is now in the court “.
What’s this? In the court means it will never be resolved?
One more thing I want to point out, in Pakistan Portal for overseas, now whenever I want to register a complaint, it shows “it’s for overseas Pakistanis “. What’s this drama, I am an overseas Pakistani and from the same portal before I was able to register the complaint and now I can’t, why? Many times I sent the email to Pakistan Portal regarding this but still that matter is not resolved too. I am feeling myself helpless. Is there any one to whom I can contact?
