Don’t pay any attention to ETPB’s decision in false, baseless reference: KCCI

MMA

KARACHI: Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCC&I) has informed the tenants that the decision in a false and bogus case about the ownership of KCC&I’s Building given against it by Chairman Evacuee Property Trust Board (ETPB) was not final.

President KCCI&I Muffasar Malik held that ETPB could not compel for compliance of the Chairman’s decision until and unless specific directions are passed to KCC&I by the competent court of law.

He pointed out that KCC&I had  challenged the maintainability of Evacuee Reference before Hon’ble High Court of Sindh at Karachi through Constitution Petition No.D-2464/2017 and the Hon’ble High Court directed for disposal of Evacuee Reference in accordance with law, therefore, the unjust decision by the Chairman shall be brought before Hon’ble High Court of Sindh through CP No.D-2464/2017.

Malik categorically stated that a false and baseless Reference was filed by ETPB before its Chairman in connivance with the illegal occupants of KCC&I Building, who are members of PML (N) and the Chairman’s decision is outcome of the favor extended by a member of PML (N) to other member of PML (N).

The KCCI president said that in addition to CP No.2464/2017, KCC&I will defend its right by filing appeal against the ETPB Chairman’s decision before the next appropriate forum and will utilize all available means to get the unjust and biased decision of ETPB Chairman struck down even if we have to go to the Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan for seeking justice.

He mentioned that since the initial stage of the Evacuee Reference, KCC&I was anticipating unjust decision therefore KCC&I Office Bearers continued issuing press statements from time to time in order to highlight the biased approach and misuse of powers by Chairman ETPB against KCC&I and in favor of members of PML (N).

President KCCI explicitly said that the tenants should not pay any attention to ETPB’s biased decision in the said false and baseless reference.

The building belongs to KCCI members & the members of Managing Committee & Office Bearers, elected representatives of Businessmen Group/ Business & Industrial Community, are custodians of this property and will fight for it till the last resort which may take years: President KCCI Muffasar Malik.
