Court stops cancelation of Raiwind land transfer

LAHORE (Dunya News) – Local court in Lahore has stopped the authorities from canceling transfer of 180 acres of land in Raiwind. According to details, the court has summoned all the parties in the case including Punjab government along with relevant data on April 27. Previously, Lahore High Court (LHC) had wrapped up the interim bail plea of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz in a case pertaining to illegal transfer of 180 acres of land in Raiwind. A two-member bench conducted hearing on the case during which, the court had directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to inform the PML-N leader 10 days prior to arresting her. Maryam Nawaz adopted the stance that NAB wants to arrest her on the pressure of the government. The NAB spokesperson told that at least 1,440 kanals of land -- 180 acres – was transferred in Maryam Nawaz’s name. This happened after 2013 when 3,568 kanals of land -- 446 acres -- was transferred in the name of the Sharif family. Sharif family also been accused of changing the Lahore Master Plan in 2015 with the help of the then DCO Noorul Amin Mengal and LDA DG Ahad Khan Cheema. NAB further alleged that Sharif family, with the connivance of officials, got thousands of kanals in Jati Umrah declared as green land. Let it be known that Maryam Nawaz was previously summoned by the anti-graft body on August 11, 2020 in the illegal land transfer case but the hearing was adjourned after a clash erupted between the PML-N workers and police.
