ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry on Friday cancelled the lease of the Army Welfare Trust stating that the allotment of land in the name of Army Welfare Trust was illegal. Soon after the lease’s cancellation by the chief justice, the Army Welfare Trust was asked to transfer the land back to the City District Government of Karachi (CDGK) within three months.
The chief justice said former president Pervez Musharraf had no right to award the lease to the Army Welfare Trust.
According to the Supreme Court, Army Welfare Trust and Macro Habib signed an agreement to transfer five acres of the Children Football Ground near Lines Area in Karachi on lease during 2002.
