The Islamabad High Court has overturned a 2022 decision that deemed the Pakistan Naval Farms and Pakistan Navy Sailing Club in Islamabad illegal. The court also overruled directives for the demolition of the sailing club and initiated legal proceedings against former naval chief Admiral (retd) Zafar Mahmood Abbasi and other officers.
The division bench of Justice Inaam Ameen Minhas and Justice Shahrukh Arjumand allowed appeals filed against the single-bench judgment. The court dismissed the findings and directions from the previous judgment, thus nullifying the declaration of the land transfer to the Pakistan Navy as illegal and the order to recover losses to the national exchequer from the officers involved.
