Tehsil Nazim Phalia occupies bureaucrat’s land

A Tehsil Nazim has ‘illegally’ occupied valuable land belonging to a bureaucrat, in defiance of court order. Shakil Gulzar, Tehsil Nazim of Phalia (Mandi Bahauddin), occupied the land on Tuesday, exactly a week after the court had issued a stay and restrain order to him and his other family members. Phalia police station that also received the court order to ensure its implementation in letter and spirit, virtually stood as a silent spectator and put up different excuses instead of registering a complaint lodged against the nazim. Arshad Farooq, deputy secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, said that the Tehsil Nazim had occupied the land notwithstanding a court order. The court order says: “Till further order, the defendants (Tehsil Nazim and his brothers) are hereby restrained from interferences into the possession of plaintiff illegally and forcibly”. However, this order shall not have effect upon any legal or judicial proceedings of any competent authority, it further says. Civil judge, Phalia, Rana Muhammad Ashfaq, had issued this order on May 22. Tehsil Nazim and his brothers have been directed through this order, to appear before the court on June 6 and submit their reply. The Nazim, while confirming that he had occupied the land, denied having any knowledge of the stay and restrain order issued by the court.
