The court also issued directives to CDA that possession be given to owners of plots as per law. The land be got vacated from the affectees who have been allotted plots in Islamabad .
The court remarked the plots were given to affectees and they sold them out then why they are still occupying these plots. The affectees don’t hand over possession after obtaining money or CDA does not make payment; This is cruelty on both sides. Half money will have been given by the affectees to the CDA officers as bribe to obtain their cheques .
The court maintained the show cause notice issued to CDA Member Estate director Land, Director Enforcement.. If there is no stay order from any court then action will be taken against CDA officers. CDA allotted those plots too which were not under their possession. If the affectees are doing injustice with the people then are you partner therein.

People have invested million of rupees. Now I call force from somewhere else to get vacate possession. You conduct operation on state land and enforcement team get money from half of the people.
