Nasla Tower Demolition Case: SC rejects review petition, orders Commissioner Karachi to vacate the building within a month

The Supreme Court on Wednesday has rejected the review petition related to Nasla Tower and has sought an implementation report from the concerned authorities.

The Supreme Court has ordered Commissioner Karachi to vacate the Nasla Tower within a month.

The Nasla Tower review case was heard in the Supreme Court Karachi Registry.

The petitioners’ lawyer told the court that the construction was allowed despite lease cancellations.

“In this case, the residents are not at fault. The authorities are,” he pointed out. “The demolition orders are not fair and should be reviewed.”

Justice Ijaz-ul-Ahsan told petitioners’ lawyer Munir A Malik that he was not satisfied with his arguments.

The Chief Justice said that look at the map, the service lane is included in the race tower, the service lane has completely disappeared from there.

On this, Munir A. Malik said that the court ordered the demolition of the entire Nasla Tower.

The Chief Justice remarked, “Can you partially demolish the Nasla Tower?” If you can demolish a partially occupied space, demolish it, now you are building a building and giving all these arguments.
