verdict
\n ISLAMABAD
\nHousing societies situated outside Islamabad have been prohibited from using the name \u201cIslamabad\u201d in their titles. Islamabad High Court (IHC) Justice Arbab Mohammad Tahir has issued a verdict against the deregistration of housing societies, declaring 18 housing societies located beyond Islamabad\u2019s borders as non-existent, while IHC has reinstated the registration of 18 housing societies.
\nThe Deputy Commissioner (DC) nullified the registration of the housing societies registered within Islamabad, but not located inside the border of Islamabad. The court invalidated the notification of cancellation of registration which was rolled out on last year 23rd September.
\nThe Islamabad High Court has ordered the removal of the term \u201cIslamabad\u201d from the housing societies\u2019 names situated outside Islamabad, to eliminates confusions among the people. The court\u2019s advised to publish an advertisements in the newspaper at the expense of the societies\u2019 owners, announcing the limitation of societies to avoid confusion.
\nThe court stated that the newspaper advertisements will persist at the central locations of these permanent housing societies. The utilization of \u201cIslamabad\u201d in the name is misleadingly implying to the public that these societies are situated within Islamabad.
\nThe court remarked that the registrar cooperatives had not fulfilled all the legal requirements for deregistering these societies. After conducting various inquiries, the registrar will be able to initiate legal proceedings in accordance with the Societies Act.
\nThe court stated that the registrar should ascertain whether societies have provided their development schedule for registration within a year. The registrar will confirm if the societies have submitted data for projects in the relevant provinces. If societies haven\u2019t furnished data for housing projects, the registrar can take action.
\nThe court further stated, \u201cThe registrar will also inquire whether housing societies have the capability to operate schemes, and they may seek assistance from Punjab\u2019s relevant department.\u201d The Islamabad High Court added that within two months, the registrar cooperative housing societies should present an operational income report to the High Court.
\nThe court pointed out that the cooperative housing societies have never abided by the law. They never monitored the working of housing societies and their financial affairs. There is no record that the registrar ever obtained information from Punjab\u2019s relevant department. \u2014 DNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
