Earlier, last month, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz strongly reacted to the suspension of the Punjab Property Ownership Ordinance by the Lahore High Court.
According to CM Punjab, the suspension of the law will benefit the encroachment mafia. And the public will consider it as support of the encroachment mafia.
CM Punjab said in her statement that the Government has set a time lapse of 90 days for settling the land and property cases.
These cases have been going on for years and generations.
She added that this law was made to ensure that the people could be saved from the control of the powerful land mafia.
This law provided the people with digital and legal proof of their ownership.
Maryam Nawaz further said in her statement that the Lahore High Court’s decision is not in accordance with the principles set by the Supreme Court.
