Law: Constitution of Pakistan, 1973

Section: 199

Summary The petitioners, who were tenants of shops located in police-owned properties across Sindh, challenged eviction notices issued by the Police Department directing them to vacate the premises. They argued that they were lawful tenants paying rent to the Police Welfare Fund and had no connection with earlier litigation concerning illegal construction on police land. The Government contended that the leases had expired and that the notices were issued in compliance with orders of the High Court and Supreme Court, which directed that police land reserved for policing purposes must not be used for residential or commercial projects. The Court held that the shopping center had been illegally constructed on land reserved for a police station, that the tenancy arrangements lacked legal backing, and that the police authorities were merely implementing binding judicial directions. Finding no violation of the petitioners’ fundamental rights or illegality in the notices, the Court dismissed the petition.
