Bahria Golf City: land grab case started by Justice Iftikhar put off !
January 25th, 2008

Source: Dawn

A three-member bench of the Supreme Court on Wednesday put off the suo motu proceedings begun by ex-chief justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry against the planned Bahria Golf City near Islamabad to the third week of February.

Justice Chaudhry, before his dismissal as chief justice, had stayed acquisition of land by the Punjab government for the city, on an application of the residents of Salkhaitar village that alleged that Bahria Town proprietor Malik Riaz Hussain had illegally acquired their lands by bribing officials.

The bench now seized with the case was told on Wednesday that a reply had been received from the Bahria Town management how it acquired land in the picturesque Salkhaitar, situated about 15 kilometres from Rawal Dam in the foothills of Murree.

Justice Mohammad Nawaz Abbasi of the bench questioned why the applicants were seeking relief under fundamental rights when they had signed an agreement with Bahria Golf City’s developers.

“We have to go by the law and not by newspapers,” he said, suggesting that the villagers should also consider invoking the Dispossession Act 2004.

However, he observed, the rules of Punjab government which allowed private companies to develop housing schemes had to be examined.

Senator Babar Awan, who is representing the Salkhaitar villagers, requested time to examine the statement filed by the Bahria Town company.

Senior counsel S.M. Zafar, the legal counsel for Bahria Town, requested the court to vacate the stay on the development of Bahria Golf City as the company had deposited Rs80 million as surety but the court adjourned the case till the third week of February.

Salkhaitar is home to over 250 families. According to the villagers more than 1,500 individuals were living off inherited land in Salkhaitar.

They alleged in their application to the Supreme Court last year that Bahria Town company took 659 kanals of their land forcibly.

They accused Malik Riaz Hussain, proprietor of Bahria Town, “enticing innocent locals” through different property dealers to get sanctioned some mutations in their favour from land, Shamlat Ghairmumkin land and hilly land under the land acquisition act, which subsequently was purchased by the proprietors of the Bahria Golf City housing scheme.

They pleaded that the process violated the law as government land could only be acquired for public purpose and welfare.

Their application alleged that excavation work started by the developer in the “illegally acquired” land in the vicinity of Rawal Dam threatened to silt the dam.

It also alleged that the developers behind the Golf City scheme were notorious for land grabbing with the entire revenue hierarchy of the provincial government acting as their tool for illegal gains.

It said the question of highhandedness of M/s Bahria Town and its owner came before the Senate and the National Assembly but the matter was hushed up, again allegedly for gratification.

Could be impressive what sort of enviromental testing have they done?

No idea. But they have hired international as well as local architectural and landscaping firms to develop the Golf City & Sheraton Hotel.

I really hope they replant a lot of the trees they cut down for this project.
