The Lahore High Court on Monday dismissed a plea wherein the petitioner sought the transfer of the land he purchased from former premier and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and his nephew Yousaf Abbas on his name.
A division bench, headed by Justice Shahid Waheed, dismissed the plea filed by Muhammad Ashraf Malik.
The petitioner prayed that he purchased 88-kanal and five-marla land from the Sharifs and appealed to the LHC for its transfer on his name.
Malik had contended that the land located in Sheikhupura was owned by the PML-N leader, while his nephew being an attorney of Nawaz had entered into an agreement for sale with the petitioner.
On May 30, 2019, around Rs7 crore was credited to the former premier’s account, following which the physical possession of the land was handed over to the petitioner.
Subsequently, the respondent Nawaz Sharif was arrested in a criminal case due to which the respondents failed in executing the sale deed.
