KARACHI: Association of Builders and Developers of Pakistan (ABAD) has appreciated Honourable Sindh High Court for withdrawing its demolition order against a high-rise building Al Jannat Royal Residency in Garden West area Karachi after investigative initiative and restoring the confidence of builders, developers, investors and the general public, a press release released on Thursday said.
Chairman ABAD Mohsin Sheikhani, Senior Vice Chairman Hanif Memon, Vice Chairman Abdul Sattar Kantawala and Chairman Southern Region Sufian Adhia, in a joint statement, said that the confidence of builders, developers, investors and the general public was shaken after the demolition of Nasla Tower but Sindh High Court has restored confidence when the court withdrawn its own demolition order against Al Jannat Royal Residency after Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) presented the true picture.
They said that builders, developers and international investors were confused and stopped their works on projects and investment after the demolition of Nasla Tower, which was built with approvals of all concerned authorities and government departments.
According to details of the Al Jannat Royal Residency case, a petition was filed before honourable Sindh High Court against builders of the said building on misleading facts that the SBCA had approved ground plus six floors for the building but the builder has built ground plus eight floors in violation of the approved plan.
The court ordered to demolish illegal floors on 4th February but the next day when SBCA presented an original approved plan of ground plus eight floors, the court withdrew its orders of demolition.
