KARACHI    -  The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered retrieval of land belonging to Kidney Hill Park in Karachi and directed for the demolition of all illegal constructions on the land including a mosque, a shrine and a graveyard. The kidney-shaped hilly area was declared a park in the early 1960s but the Overseas Pakistanis Co-operative Housing Society claimed that it was allotted to it by the Karachi Development Authority since it merged into the formerly city district government (now KMC). In its hearing yesterday, the court initiated proceedings of the case with Shehri CBE, pointing out the construction of Al-Fateh Mosque was underway on the land meant for the park, saying the master plan also didn't have any space reserved for the mosque. Khawaja Shams, the counsel representing the mosque, contended that the land was obtained from the KMC through auction. The lawyer also accused Assistant Commissioner Asma Batool of permitting the construction of another mosque and a shrine close to Al-Fateh Mosque to fuel sectarianism. Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed directed that no one should be stopped from offering prayers at any spot in the park and sought a report from Karachi commissioner into the case in the next hearing. The court also observed that the KMC had no authority to issue a permit for construction of a mosque and rejected the review plea filed by the mosque administration. The court then directed authorities to return the land to the KMC.
