SHC Justice Zafar Rajput said during Monday’s hearing of a petition against the unlawful construction of a plaza next to Mazar-e-Quaid that “everything has been fair in love and Pakistan.”

“Can you believe over an advertisement in Pakistani conditions?” the justice of the Sindh High Court asked during the hearing.

In Jamshed Town, the petitioner’s attorney said that an unlawful plaza was being constructed over a plot of land. “It has violated the sacredness of Quaid’s mausoleum,” the attorney stated.

The attorney argued that advertisements for the project’s booking have already been published. “What happens when advertisements are published?” the bench asked. The lawyer stated, “Layman will consider the project as lawful after these advertisements are published.”

After calling for additional arguments regarding the petition’s maintainability, the judge postponed the hearing for three weeks.
