PTI Petitions Islamabad High Court Over Central Secretariat Closure

The Islamabad High Court is scheduled to address a petition filed by Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) concerning the closure of its Central Secretariat by the Capital Development Authority (CDA). The petition, lodged by PTI's Secretary General Omar Ayub, aims to reverse the sealing of PTI's Head Quarter in G-8/4 Islamabad by the CDA and to halt any coercive actions against the party's office.

Recently, the CDA demolished a portion of the PTI Central Secretariat, citing a breach of building regulations as the cause. PTI strongly criticized this action, asserting that they had not received any prior notice or order regarding the demolition.

PTI's petition challenges the legality of the CDA's actions, alleging malicious intent, lack of due process, and violation of constitutional principles. The party claims to have bought the commercial plot in question from Sartaj Ali in 2020, while the CDA maintains that the plot was allocated to an individual named Sartaj Ali.

PTI argues that the CDA's operation was illegal, politically driven, and encroached upon their basic rights. They are requesting the court's intervention to reopen their office and prevent any further coercive measures by the CDA.

The dispute between PTI and the CDA over the sealing of PTI's Central Secretariat in Islamabad has escalated to the Islamabad High Court. PTI's petition challenges the legality of the CDA's actions and seeks to protect their rights as a political party. The outcome of this legal battle will have significant implications for both parties involved, highlighting the importance of due process and adherence to regulations in such matters.
