PML-N’s MNA Afzal Khokhar and MPA Saiful Malook appeared in court. Malook said that he did not occupy any person’s land. The chief justice said that he will not be spared if it is proven that it was occupied. “We cannot forgive people for occupying lands of orphans and widows,” he remarked.
The Supreme Court ordered on Saturday the Punjab police and the Lahore Development Authority to set up a complaint centre to look into the complaints against the brothers.
The chief justice, while heading a two-member bench, also issued verbal orders to put the siblings' names on the Exit Control List (ECL). However, the travel restrictions were not mentioned when the court's formal order was dictated.
The orders against the Khokhar brothers were issued after the court took notice of a complaint made against them by overseas Pakistanis who had accused them of illegally occupying their land.
The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) and Punjab Police were also ordered to investigate complaints against the two brothers, compile a report over the issue and recover the land.
In addition, Afzal and Mulook were ordered to submit details of assets registered under their own and the names of their families.
The hearing was then adjourned till December 22.
