Islamabad's Cooperative Societies Department has issued a show-cause notice to the former management committee of Jinnah Garden Housing Scheme, accusing them of violating their approved layout plan. The inquiry found that the committee had converted residential plots into commercial use and used amenity land for residential plots, all in violation of the Planning Permission Rules and Islamabad Land Disposal Regulations of 2005.
The committee is also accused of forging documents, manipulating official records, and transferring society land, including amenity land, to Naval Anchorage Housing Society in a manner contrary to law. Financial irregularities were also alleged, including non-recovery of dues and non-deposition of funds in the official account. The committee is given seven days to respond, and a personal hearing is scheduled for June 17.
The committee denies the allegations, but the inquiry officer rejected their defense and established the charges.
