SC orders removal of Thatta, Mirpur Sakro ACs for not computerising land record

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court has ordered for removing assistant commissioners (ACs) of Thatta and Mirpur Sakro for not extending cooperation in computerisation of land record.

Three-member SC bench, headed by Justice Amir Hani Muslim, took up the case for hearing on Wednesday. Nazar Laghari, consultant of Revenue Department, Sindh, complained assistant commissioners of two districts were refusing to cooperate in the process of computerisation of land record. Justice Muslim remarked that allotment of land continued in Sindh despite a stay order. He said no one would be allowed to do illegal work and with the computerisation of land record, fake allotment of land and other problems would come to end. Record should be computerised as soon as possible, he remarked. The court gave three months’ time to Sindh, Balochistan and KP governments to computerise all their land records and adjourned the case for three months.
