The Supreme Court has ordered that the 17-acre Askari Park be returned to the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC).
The petition concerning Askari Park was heard on Monday at the Supreme Court Karachi Registry before a bench led by Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed and comprised of Justice Qazi Muhammad Amin Ahmed.
The counsel represented the Army’s Five Corps. He claimed that in 2001, the vegetable market was relocated. Under Musharraf, a plea was made to repair the park. “According to the deal, the park was given to the defence agency.” According to the news, marriage halls have been shuttered.”
The park was entrusted to the army for non-occupation, according to the chief justice. “You have been tasked with protecting the entire country of Pakistan.” “Did you get a park for commercial purposes?” inquired the CJP.
