RAWALPINDI: Former interior minister and Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Monday moved the Lahore High Court (LHC) after the government “completely sealed” his Lal Haveli residence.
The LHC admitted the petition — submitted by Advocate Sardar Raziq Khan filed a petition on behalf of Rashid — which will be heard today at 11am.
The ETPB wrote to the deputy commissioner, the city police officer (CPO) and FIA’s director for their support.
The deputy commissioner said that Rashid and his brother Sheikh Siddique have illegally occupied the seven land units of the haveli.
DC Khan said that they sent several notices to the AML chief and his brother.
“Sheikh Rashid and his brother failed to provide any authentic document or record proving their ownership of the property,” he said, adding that the court has also dismissed Rashid’s injunction request.
The superintendent of police (SP), FIA’s director and the assistant commissioner were also present during the operation.
The ETPB sealed a total of seven units including two units of Lal Haveli and five adjoining units.
