ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Tuesday suspended the Sindh High Court order to seal and demolish the Moon Gardens residential complex in Karachi.
According to details, Moon Garden builder’s attorney Salman Akram Raja pleaded to court not to demolish the building or evict the residents because it is the matter of rights of as many as 200 families living in the building. He said the builders were ready to bear any financial penalties.
Vacating the SHC verdict, the Supreme Court ordered the builder to pay Rs 50 million in cash and another Rs 50 million in bank guarantee within 15 days.
The Sindh High Court had issued orders to seal and demolish Moon Gardens which is said to have been illegally constructed on Railways Housing property.
