Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has constituted a high-level committee to review the matter of One Constitution Avenue. The committee will be headed by Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar and include Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry, the Cabinet Secretary and the Commerce Secretary.

The committee will review the matter and submit a comprehensive report to the prime minister within one week. During this period, all affected parties will be able to present their concerns before the committee, which will hear all stakeholders without discrimination.

Until a final decision is made, the Islamabad administration and the Capital Development Authority have been directed to refrain from taking any action. The prime minister has issued instructions for the formation of the committee to ensure justice in the matter.

The development comes a day after the IHC upheld the Capital Development Authority’s (CDA) decision to cancel the building’s lease due to the company behind the project defaulting on payments. Late last night, reports had also emerged on social media of residents being served eviction notices by officials.

Apartments in the building are also reportedly owned by prominent personalities, including PTI founder Imran Khan, Chaudhry Aitzaz Ahsan, Shandana Gulzar Aurangzeb, former minister Burjees Tahir and former caretaker prime minister Nasirul Mulk.

According to Radio Pakistan, the committee formed by the premier will be headed by Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar and will include Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry, the cabinet secretary and the commerce secretary.
