The Sindh High Court has declared on the lease or renting out of land belonging to the police department to individuals unlawful. The order came in a revision application filed by Haji Qamaruddin, whose counsel pleaded a case against the Hyderabad Police over a plot. The corner plot, a part of the Hyderabad police headquarters, is located in a commercial area on Al Rahim Road. The petitioner claimed that on January 21, 1993, he had signed a rental agreement with the police department through the Hyderabad SSP. "This act has raised eyebrows that even land meant for the police headquarters is now being rented out," the bench remarked.
