The District Court of VII-Rent Controller Karachi South has ordered three illegal occupants of KCCI premises namely Khawaja Qutubddin, Rizwan and National Bank of Pakistan to hand over the illegally occupied premises back to the Karachi Chamber within 60 days, starting from the date of order (April 27, 2017).
The Karachi Chamber has filed cases against Khawaja Qutubddin of M/s Intertrade Distributors (Pvt.) Ltd., Rizwan of M/s Agrico and the National Bank of Pakistan for ejectment from KCCI premises which were continuously heard on various dates and the final judgment/order was issued on April 27, 2017, in favour of Karachi Chamber.
Many illegal occupants of Karachi Chamber’s premises have been running their offices since many decades and KCCI Management has been trying its level best to get its premises vacated by forming committees from time to time, holding negotiations and issuing relevant letters to illegal occupants but all these efforts went in vain. Therefore, the Karachi Chamber decided to initiate legal action and seek assistance from the honourable court as the illegal occupants never bothered to pay any attention to KCCI’s letters and requests.
The leadership of Businessmen Group, KCCI office bearers and managing committee’s members have warmly welcomed the honourable court’s orders directing the illegal occupants to hand over the premises within two months.
Meanwhile, in exercise of the powers conferred under Article-14 of the Articles of Association, the Karachi Chamber has terminated the membership of 23 illegal occupants who have acted against the Chamber and its interest, deprived KCCI from legitimate amount of rentals, initiated frivolous proceedings before the rent controller and infringed rights of KCCI by misusing the provisions of laws through misrepresentation before the courts.
