Nasla Tower Plot in Karachi Up for Auction After Demolition
KARACHI – The Sindh High Court’s Official Assignee has announced the auction of a commercial plot in Karachi, where the illegal Nasla Tower once stood.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan had ordered the demolition of the Nasla Tower in November 2021 after it was declared illegally constructed. Now, the same land will be auctioned publicly.
The 780-square-yard plot is located in a commercial area, and buyers are allowed to construct a building with a basement and up to nine floors. The reserve price for the plot is set at Rs 811.2 million.
Interested buyers can submit sealed bids by 4th September 2025. They must also attach a 25% pay order of their offered price along with the application.
The plot will be sold to the highest bidder who meets or exceeds the reserve price, and the auction will take place on the same day.
As per Supreme Court orders, the money from the auction will be used to compensate the people affected by the illegal Nasla Tower.
Earlier investigations showed that the Nasla Tower was subleased illegally by the registration wing of the Sindh Board of Revenue without a proper completion certificate. Officials allegedly received Rs 20 million in bribes for the sublease.
Key suspects in the case, including Manzoor Qadir Kaka and Khair Muhammad Dahri, were granted bail by the Sindh High Court. The case was originally filed on the Supreme Court’s directions.
