The Islamabad High Court has issued a stay order restraining the Capital Development Authority from demolishing homes and evicting local residents in Saidpur Model Village near Daman-e-Koh.
The order was issued by Justice Inam Amin Minhas while hearing a petition filed by around 128 local residents of Saidpur Village seeking protection from the ongoing CDA operation.
The court directed the CDA to halt any demolition of the petitioners’ homes until the next hearing and also issued a notice to the authority, seeking a report on the matter.
Advocate Rizwan Abbasi appeared on behalf of the petitioners during the proceedings.
The court also clubbed the petitions with other related cases already under consideration and adjourned further hearings.
The CDA had recently launched an operation against what it described as illegal constructions in Saidpur Village, during which several structures were demolished, stating that prior notices had already been issued for the removal of unauthorized buildings.

Ah yes declare illegal. Take away their land and then sell it for profits.

Typical behavior like israel
These people are illegally settled here, if they are allowed to have an illegal land in Margalla, why not every other Pakistani. Let’s cut down all trees, start living on national land and ask the court to give stay order when we face action.

Government had Allowed the original land owners of the Capital territory, to continue living in their fully compensated houses, till such times, when development reached their compassionate houses. Now, after over 50 years, the present generation of the occupants of the compensated houses, have extended their those houses and courts are acting on present situation, without looking into the historic facts.
Government should regularize these houses
