Islamabad: A court in
Pakistan has restrained a military estates officer and the
administration of the port city of Karachi from demolishing a
pre-Partition era temple.
The Sindh High Court Saturday issued an order restraining the
demolition of the Shri Rama Pir Mandir in the Soldier Bazaar area,
the News International reported Sunday.
The order came on a petition filed by Ram Chander, a resident in
the temple premises, who challenged the demolition of the temple
and its adjoining quarters and took to the court the military
estates officer, police and a private builder.
The petitioner's counsel told the court that families of
worshippers lived in the compound of the temple constructed more
than 100 years ago, and that the property was duly notified by the
Evacuee Trust of Properties.
He said the the private builder in connivance with the authorities
was trying to encroach on the temple land.
