On 13-7-2002 a report was submitted by the Mukhtiarkar to the D.D.O. R&R, Keamari Town, Karachi informing that the allottee has violated the terms of the lease inasmuch as instead of using it for poultry farming and wahi chahi, commercial construction has been raised on the land by the lessee and it was noted that the lease is liable to cancellation under section 24 of the Colonization Act, 1912. The Mukhtiarkar who is in attendance states that no action has been taken by the DDO R&R, Keamari Town, Karachi and that if orders are passed, he will take appropriate action for resuming the government land.
