ISLAMABAD
\nA lower court in Islamabad has upheld the decision by the Directorate of Municipal Administration (DMA) and Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad (MCI) to cancel the e-parking contract awarded to AJCL company, terming the termination fully legal and in accordance with administrative procedures.
\nThe court dismissed AJCL\u2019s appeal, reinforcing the government\u2019s commitment to transparency, legal supremacy, and public interest. Senior advocate Nazir Jawad, representing CDA and DMA, presented what the court described as \u201csolid legal evidence\u201d to defend the cancellation of the contract.
\nThe contract with AJCL was officially revoked in June 2025 after the company was found to be in serious breach of multiple clauses, including financial irregularities and failure to implement a cashless system for parking.
\nThe CDA spokesperson told media that, multiple First Information Reports (FIRs) were also filed by both the DMA and concerned citizens at local police stations against the company.<\/p>\n
AJCL subsequently challenged the contract termination, requesting that parking sites not be reclaimed and that the proposed re-auctioning of smart parking sites be halted.
\nHowever, the court rejected all such claims, declaring them baseless and upholding the DMA\u2019s actions as legally sound and procedurally proper. Legal experts and civic stakeholders alike have praised the decision, calling it a major step toward enforcing transparency, upholding the rule of law, and improving urban services in Islamabad.
\n\u201cThis judgment empowers us to take stronger, more effective steps for enhancing public amenities,\u201d said a senior CDA official. \u201cThis verdict is a testament to our commitment to good governance, transparency, and merit-based decisions,\u201d said Chairman Capital Development Authority (CDA) and Chief Commissioner Islamabad, Muhammad Ali Randhawa in a statement on Sunday.
\nThe verdict has been hailed by CDA officials as a precedent-setting move under the leadership of Member Administration Talat Mahmood and Deputy DG Enforcement and Director DMA Dr. Anam Fatima.
\nThe CDA reiterated its commitment to modernizing urban infrastructure, promising that no lapses in governance or public service delivery would be tolerated. \u201cAll future projects, especially smart parking systems, will be executed with utmost transparency and accountability,\u201d the CDA said in an official statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
