SC will examine contempt plea about the Balakot City project’s delay

SC will examine a contempt plea about the New Balakot City project’s delay. The Supreme Court accepted a contempt petition against the federal and provincial governments on Thursday for failing to carry out its instructions over the building of the New Balakot City housing project.

The hearing’s schedule will be announced following the conclusion.

The development comes after Justice Sardar Tariq Masood of the single-member bench disregarded the court’s registrar’s objections to the case of survivors of the 2005 Balakot tehsil earthquake.

The court directed that the petition be scheduled for a normal hearing.

Meanwhile, Advocate Munir Hussain Lughmani appeared before the court to defend Shiraz Mehmood Qureshi, the representative of the earthquake-affected people.

According to him, the federal and provincial administrations have failed to comply with a court judgment issued on Jan. 7, 2019, requiring the New Balakot city housing project completion within 30 months.

Mr Lughmani stated that the court had urged Erra and other relevant authorities to work accordingly with a memorandum of understanding signed by Erra and other departments with representatives of the 2005 tragedy survivors to create the New Balakot City. Additionally, it directed that Rs1 billion be released for the purpose.

The lawyer noted that both the federal and provincial governments had failed to comply with the court’s instructions, resulting in the prolonged misery of the families uprooted by the earthquake 16 years ago.
