Slamming Pakistan's army, Lahore's High Court has come down heavily on the force calling it the "biggest land grabber" of Pakistan, reports The Times of India.
The Lahore High Court's Chief Justice Mohammad Qasim Khan asserted to the Pakistan Army that its uniform is for the service to the nation and not to "rule as a king". He pressed that though he does not want to say anything wrong about the Pakistan Army, the way the force occupies the properties of the people is nothing but land grabbing.
Chief Justice Khan made strong observations and comments while he was hearing petitions of three Pakistani nationals seeking an order against the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) to not disturb their lawful possession of the land. The DHA functions under the Pakistan Army.
Chief Justice Khan also regretted that the Pakistan Army had even grabbed a piece of land owned by the Lahore High Court. He said he would instruct the court's registrar to write a letter to the Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa in this regard.
