At which the officials of Cantonment Board Clifton (CBC) informed CJP Gulzar Ahmed that they took action against illegal constructions in the above-mentioned areas.

The attorney general told CJP that some of the builders have taken stay order from the court. “It is not possible for us to demolish illegal constructions as the matter is already in court, ” Advocate General Sindh argued in the court.
The court made it clear that no exploitation would be allowed after it was informed that SBCA officials were allegedly taking bribes and allowing construction of multi-storey buildings on small plots.
