LHC Justice Shahid Jamil gave the order while he was presiding over a petition that said billboards advertising illegal and unregistered housing schemes lead people who don’t know about them to invest in these projects. He said that this kind of investment causes property buyers to lose a lot of money.

After hearing both sides, the court said that outdoor ads in Lahore had to be taken down.
