LHC stays conversion of Ishaq Dar’s house into a shelter home

LAHORE (92 News) – The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday issued a stay order against conversion of PML-N leader Ishaq Dar’s house into a shelter home. The order has been issued on the application of Tabbasum Dar. The court also sought a reply from the Punjab government within 10 days. Tabbasum Dar, in the petition, contended that the Punjab government had turned the house into a shelter home illegally. “Moreover, the Punjab government also violated the orders of the Islamabad High Court,” he added. Earlier on Friday, the Punjab government had converted Ishaq Dar’s house in Gulberg into shelter home. On July 27 last year, the Lahore city district government had taken possession of about five-kanal house (7-H, Hajvery House, Gulberg III) belonging to Ishaq Dar after the National Accountability Bureau (LHC) seized his all movable and immovable assets in connection with a corruption reference. Last month, the Punjab government planned auctioning of the house. But it could not do so after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) issued a stay order on a petition of Ishaq Dar’s wife.
