LAHORE: The Lahore High Court Wednesday directed Lahore development Authority (LDA) Director General Ahad Cheema to appear in person for not complying with its order regarding allotment of plot to a citizen.
Munir Ahmad, the petitioner, submitted that the court had ordered the LDA to allot him a plot. However, the authority ignored the order; he said and sought contempt proceedings against the director general. Justice Shahid Jamil directed the LDA chief Ahad Cheema to appear in person on July 8 and explain his position on charges of contempt. The judge directed Managing Director Housing Department to look into the petitioner’s case and decide it within one month. Another court had already issued contempt notice to him for repeatedly ignoring courts’ order.–Staff Reporter
