The Rawalpindi Bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) has suspended a single bench order that permitted commercial construction along the service road of the Rawalpindi Ring Road.
A division bench comprising Justice Sadaqat Ali Khan and Justice Sardar Akbar admitted intra court appeals filed by the Punjab government, the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA), and the Ring Road project administration against the earlier ruling.
The bench issued notices to the commissioner, the district petrol pump committee, and the petitioner, directing them to submit their replies by July 16.
The appeals challenge a single bench decision in favor of petitioner Mazhar Rahim, who had received approval from the Ring Road administration to develop 102 kanals and 14 marlas of land for a petrol pump, a mosque, green areas, and service roads along the Ring Road.
According to the case, the RDA commissioner had initially issued the required no objection certificate (NOC), after which the petitioner paid Rs. 178.413 million in fees.
