ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has sought a report on those identified as violating the Capital Development Authority (CDA) by-laws and the action taken against them. The court has also summoned the sanitation director general to appear in the next hearing.
The IHC’s Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri heard the petition of a citizen named Syed Zaheer Hussain Naqvi, who had approached the court against the storm water drain next to his home not being cleaned.
In a written order issued after the hearing, the court said that according to the petitioner’s lawyer, his client has been living in a house in Sector F-6/3 for 30 years, and is facing problems and difficulties due to the CDA’s negligence.
According to the petitioner’s lawyer, the drain fills up and takes the form of a pond during rainy days, and the water enters his client’s home. The CDA was requested to open the 300-foot-long illegally covered water channel next to the house, but no steps have been taken by the federal development authority. The CDA submitted a reply that the drain mentioned in the application is not blocked but it found other violations of the by-laws.
