LAHORE: Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice Aalia Neelum suspended the operation of the newly enacted Punjab Protection of Ownership of Immovable Property Ordinance, 2025, which empowers deputy commissioner-led committees to decide property disputes.
Justice Neelum issued the ruling during a hearing of petitions that challenged decisions pertaining to property disputes taken under the ordinance.
“Someone should inform the government that if this law remains in force, even Jati Umra (the Sharif family residence) could be vacated within half an hour,” the judge remarked during the hearing.
