The Sindh High Court (SHC) observed on Friday that in order to save people from being homeless the state will try and regularise structures that can be regularised.

The state is trying to accommodate as many such structures, wherever possible, as it can but the buildings that are outrightly illegal, in blatant violation of the law, can not be spared, said Justice Faisal Kamal Alam.

The judge said that the state cannot afford to raze every building that has violated or opposed the law but outrightly illegal structures will have to be flattened.

The SHC case was on the building of portions in Block #5 of North Nazimabad where the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) said that on the plot comprising 200 square yards the originally approved layout plan was of ground + one structure. However, SBCA petitioned that the two more rooms built over the roof are illegal and thus warrant demolition.
