Islamabad: The Supreme Court (SC) has allowed Capital Development Authority a week to provide details of the laws and fees it has imposed for the regularisation of structures in Bani Gala, a news source reported. The SC also directed relevant authorities to write to federal government for release of funds for sewerage treatment plants in the city.
Justice Ijazul Ahsan and Justice Umar Atta Bandial were hearing a suo motu case on illegal construction in Bani Gala and pollution in the Rawal Dam Lake.
During the hearing, the counsel for the Capital Development Authority (CDA) told the court that around 75% of the construction in Bani Gala is irregular or illegal and stands to be demolished under the law. The court told the civic body to do anything it wanted as long as it is done in accordance with law.
Justice Bandial lamented that CDA had delayed in preparation of a framework to regularise the houses built in Bani Gala and allowed a week to present the details.
