The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had previously initiated investigations against DHA Islamabad, Bahria Town and Capital Development Authority administrations for the Rs62 billion DHA Valley project and its Phase-II (extension) scams.
In Tuesday’s hearing, the court asked the housing scheme to submit its recommendations to the Punjab government for the matter and asked the Punjab government to examine the venture.
The SC also asked the Punjab government to examine the Irrigation Department’s recommendations and, if it is not satisfied with them, to inform the court and present its own recommendations.
Moreover, the court asked the Punjab government to inform the court about the duration of a dam’s completion and the cost incurred during its construction.
Punjab irrigation secretary told the court that the provincial government had allocated funds for the acquisition of land for the dam. He added that the housing scheme was proposed on an 11,000-kanal site.
Subsequently, Justice Nisar asked what obstacles the Punjab government was facing in the construction of the dam by Bahria Town.
“I know that commission mafia’s commission will be cut and this is the obstacle,” he remarked, stressing that he won’t let anyone take any cuts or commission.
The top judge said that the commission mafia should fear God and that the dam project was under strain because of this commission mafia. He asked them, without naming them, to think about themselves, the country and the future of its citizens.
The CJP suggested the secretary call the Punjab chief minister and his cabinet regarding the issue, to which the secretary responded that there was no need for it since he was looking over it.
Justice Nisar responded that the construction of the dam is a national cause and they would need to come together for it. He told the secretary that he should be giving money instead of taking money, to which the secretary responded that he had already contributed money to the dam fund.
