Supreme Court Orders Sale of Nasla Tower Land for Victim Compensation

The Supreme Court Karachi Registry has mandated the sale of Nasla Tower land to provide compensation to affected citizens and investors.

During the hearing, victims' counsel Shahab Sarki disclosed that the builder, Abdul Qadir Teela, had passed away, leaving compensation unpaid to the victims despite a prior Supreme Court directive benefiting 44 victims.

The advocate general informed the court of Karachi commissioner's action in taking possession of the land, completing due proceedings, and submitting a comprehensive report.

In light of the victims' plight, Sarki proposed the sale of an adjacent 240-square-yard plot to supplement compensation for the affected parties.

Consequently, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of selling Nasla Tower land to compensate the allotted victims, and requested information on the deceased builder's heirs from the Sindhi Muslim Society.

Furthermore, the court demanded a report assessing the Nasla Tower plot's market value and detailed information regarding the adjacent plot.

It instructed the publication of an advertisement for Nasla Tower land sale and issued notices to the Sindhi Muslim Cooperative Housing Society (SMCHS).

The Supreme Court emphasized the need for a report on auction bids and advised Nasla Tower victims to furnish documentary evidence of ownership to the official assignee.
