MUZAFFARABAD (Kashmir English): The Azad Jammu and Kashmir High Court on Wednesday restrained the Development Authority Muzaffarabad (DAM) from auctioning commercial plots in Langarpura Satellite Town and issued notices to relevant officials.
The court issued notices to the Secretary of the Allotment Committee, Chairman DAM, Town Planner, officials of the Physical Planning and Housing Department, and other concerned persons.
The next hearing of the case has been scheduled for November 16, 2026.
The petition was filed by Sardar Muhammad Afzal Khan against the MDA advertisement inviting bids for the auction of 42 commercial plots in Langarpura Satellite Town.
The petitioner questioned why only 42 of the 150 commercial plots were being auctioned and raised concerns over the status of the remaining 108 plots.
Earlier, in response to the criticism from civil society representatives, the MDA had issued a press release describing the questions as baseless.
