KARACHI: The Karachi registry of the Supreme Court on Friday ordered the demolition of Tejori Heights, an under-construction structure being built on a land reportedly owned by Pakistan Railways, and directed the city commissioner to bring it down within a month. The counsel representing the builders of the tower, Raza Rabbani, yielded to the court order but sought time to reimburse the allottees. It then directed both the authorities and the builders to submit a report on the demolition. In December last, the apex court had ordered the immediate suspension of work on Tejori Heights and barred the builders from creating a third-party interest. The lawyer for the PR had contended the land belonged to his department and an illegal construction was being made on the basis of forged documents.
