2. That the property when purchased was in commercial use and
had attained commercial character long ago, an “Atta Chakki”

30 years, as both sides of the road properties are being utilized
for last 40 years as commercial sites as same is an industrial
area, heavy Textile and Cotton Industry flourished soon after
Partition which proved an incentive for commercial activities
and commercial sites began to develop without any
interference from any Agency including respondents Multan
Development Authority which was created long after only
recently, hence, to get the sanction to put the same to
commercial use by the respondents Authority was not needed.
It is pertinent to note here that respondents have conducted no
development here. Affidavits of the respectables of the are
Annex “B & C”.

of the commercial nature of the property and petitioner had to
pay commercial rates for the same.

in early 1999 old buildings and structures began to crumble
petitioners intended to rebuild the same with certain
modification including additional 4 Marlas purchased through
Mutation (Baai Zabani) as by this time the area was declared
as controlled area by the respondents Authority. Petitioner
moved for approval of site plan and deposited fee for the
commercialization of 4 Marlas added. Copy of the site plan
and receipt for deposit of fee for the area are Annex “D & E”
respectively.

making illegal demands and gratification.

any legal process with ulterior motives and malafide
intentions, at the dead of night respondents with the help of
their subordinate staff bulldozed the shops on the entire front
of the property of the petitioners and caused a damage to the
tone of Rs. 400,000/- to the petitioners, petitioners reserve
their right to sue in appropriate forum for damages, he has
also moved application for contempt of court, but respondents
without taking any heed are bent upon causing damage to the
property and huge financial loss to the petitioner.

illegal fee under the garb of commercialization fee and are
black mailing and pressurizing the petitioner to meet their
illegal demands with ulterior motives whereas property was
being used as commercial much prior to even the creation of
the Multan Development Authority and all around the
petitioner’s property people are enjoying commercial status
and use properties without interference from the respondent
Authority and without paying any commercialization fee. This
discriminatory treatment is un-warranted by law and
Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan and rule of equal
treatment. Moreover, the respondent Authority has no power
to effect the vested rights of the petitioners with retrospective
effect through any subordinate legislation and rule making.
9. That loss and damage to the petitioner is multiplying every
day and no other equally efficacious and speedy remedy is
available to the petitioner except to invoke the constitutional
jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court against the infringement of
the constitutional rights of the petitioner as respondents are
bent upon demolishing the remaining partition of the property
and causing hindrance illegally in the lawful use and
enjoyment of the property owned by the petitioner. Petitioner
has no other alternative except to move this Hon’ble Court
against this high handedness, illegal and un-constitutional
actions without due process of law and authority.
