Islamabad High Court dissolved the bench hearing Bahria Town’s petition against auction notices for five properties and referred the matter to the Chief Justice for further proceedings.
The Islamabad High Court witnessed a significant development on Monday after the bench hearing Bahria Town’s petition against the auction notices for five properties dissolved itself, with the case file referred to Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar for further proceedings.
The petition was being heard by a bench headed by Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir. During the hearing, the court observed that the matter had previously come before the court and that an intra-court appeal had already been filed. The bench noted that, in the interest of judicial consistency, it would be appropriate for the case to be placed before the Chief Justice.
Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir remarked that he had heard similar matters in the past but emphasized that continuity in judicial proceedings would be better maintained if the petition were assigned to the Chief Justice’s bench.
Representing the petitioner, Farooq H. Naek argued that a judicial ruling on the original constitutional petition already exists. Meanwhile, Rafi Maqsood, appearing on behalf of the National Accountability Bureau>, informed the court that an intra-court appeal involving similar legal questions had previously been filed.
