Two days ago, located in the red zone of Islamabad Pakhtunkhwa House was sealed by the Capital Development Authority (CDA) for ‘violation of building rules’ against which a petition has been filed in the Islamabad High Court today.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa A petition has been submitted by the Secretary Administration to the Government requesting that the property of the Provincial Government has been illegally sealed and hence it should be de-sealed immediately.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House was sealed on October 7 after reports of provincial chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur being there two days earlier on October 5, following which Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House was sealed off by Islamabad Police and Rangers. A search operation was also carried out in the premises of Amin and later conflicting reports regarding the presence of Ali Amin came out.
After that, questions regarding the jurisdiction of Pakhtunkhwa House started being raised on social networking websites.
What is the legal status of Pakhtunkhwa House (including other houses)? He has been sealed for violating which CDA rules? Do houses in other provinces follow the same rules? Independent Urdu has tried to find out the answers to these questions.
CDA Building Control Department Director General Faisal Naeem told Independent Urdu on this issue that according to CDA Ordinance 1960 Islamabad Building Control 2023, no construction can be done without prior approval within the city limits. “The administration of Pakhtunkhwa House illegally constructed five blocks without prior permission from the administration.”
According to the director general, the lease of Pakhtunkhwa House has expired after the year 2008, after which the institution sent show cause notices to him in the years 2014, 2018, 2019 and this year, but no response was given to these notices. .
Faisal Naeem said that Pakhtunkhwa House has been completely sealed. On the question that when the construction of five blocks is illegal, why was it completely sealed including the gate? “It has also been sealed to prevent access,” he said.
Have violations of building rules been committed in other houses ie Punjab House, Sindh House and Balochistan House? On this question, he said that Sindh House and Punjab House have also violated building rules.
On the one hand, the administration of Sindh House has paid the fine for these violations and extended the lease by regularizing it, on the other hand, the administration of Punjab House is in contact with the CDA regarding the violation of building rules. .’
The Director General revealed that the lease of Punjab House has also expired, however, he is ‘in the loop’ with the institution and ready to rectify the situation.

He said that government employees residing in the premises of Pakhtunkhwa House were given 24 hours to vacate their quarters.
Were these living quarters also illegally constructed, and what was the violation? On this question, Faisal Naeem said that ‘anything built without permission will be a violation and the master document of the house is a lease, which has expired.’
According to the director general, ‘when the lease period expires, it is no longer the property of the concerned institution but comes under the custody of CDA.’

All the appointed staff are under the control of the provincial government ie the Chief Minister, his office supervises all the affairs, while other provincial or federal governments cannot interfere in its limits without permission.
