The Capital Development Authority (CDA) sealed the imprisoned PTI Senator Azam Swati’s farmhouse on Islamabad’s Murree Road for violating building laws.
Swati was arrested on November 27 for a “very offensive campaign of intimidating tweets against military institutions.”
Last Monday, police flew him to Quetta, where the Balochistan High Court overturned five cases against him and released him. Hours later, Sindh police arrested him for local cases.
The farmhouse was “transferred to Mrs. Tahira Swati” (Azam Swati’s spouse) on March 25, 2014, and its development plan was authorized on May 7, 2015.
The CDA says Swati received her first notification about the basement in 2016. It said a lawmaker was reminded after a 2018 agriculture survey.
“There was a deviation from the approved building plan as servant quarter/Kitchen, office block and tractor trolley shed were not constructed. The observations regarding violations were separately conveyed on 29-11-2018.”
The CDA issued Swati a show-cause notice on November 4, 2022, in accordance with the ICT Building Control Regulations 2020, “with instructions to show sufficient cause within seven days as to why such violations have not been removed and why the premises may not be sealed off until compliance of the by-laws or removal of the same by the authority at the risk and cost beside imposing a penalty.”
