Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed on Monday challenged the notice to vacate land and rooms adjacent to his Lal Haveli residence located in Rawalpindi.
The AML chief approached the court of Additional Sessions Judge Khursheed Alam Bhatti today which issued a notice to the director of the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) to appear before it.
The court ordered the director to present himself on Tuesday with a complete record and warned the ETPB from taking any illegal action.
The petition said that Lal Haveli is the former interior minister’s property and this is only done on the basis of political vendetta. The petitioner’s lawyer claimed that Lal Haveli has been owned by Sheikh Rashid for several decades.
The AML chief’s nephew Sheikh Rashid Shafique also appeared before the court.
