Some of the aggrieved property owners of Phase-VII (extension) are planning to move the superior court against levying of “unjust charges” on their plots, Association of Defence Residents (ADR) General-Secretary Asad Kizilbash told The News.

Kizilbash said that he had held a meeting with the affected land owners of Phase-VII (ext.), and after knowing about their conundrum, believed that the levy of differential charges on them is totally illegal and unjustified.

“Being the general-secretary of the ADR, I have also written a letter to the DHA administration and informed the authorities concerned about the reservations and objections of the property owners concerned,” said Kizilbash.

DHA Spokesperson Lt Col (retd) Rafat Naqvi, however, told The News that it would be in the best interests of the land owners of the DHA Phase-VII (ext.) to pay the differential cost in order to settle the lease issue, so that development on these plots could be materialised as soon as possible.
