The top court headed by then CJP Gulzar Ahmed had ordered the demolition of the 15-storey residential complex in June 2021 due to illegal construction.
Since then, the court has directed the builders to refund the affectees of the residential and commercial units within three months.
During the hearing today at the Karachi registry, the the Nasla Tower affectees’ counsel apprised the top court that the builder of the residential complex had passed away leaving his clients in limbo.
The court then directed the affectees to approach the official assignee with the relevant ownership documents.
Justice Qazi Faez Isa also ordered placing an ad in newspapers for the sale of the land.
It is pertinent to mention here that the main accused in the case, including Manzoor Qadir Kaka and Khair Muhammad Dahri, obtained bail from the Sindh High Court, meanwhile the case was registered on the Supreme Court’s orders.
