FAISALABAD: Director General of the Faisalabad Development Authority (FDA), Muhammad Asif Chaudhry, has directed officials to ensure responsible and honest compliance with court orders in all pending cases involving the Authority, stressing that the FDA’s position in every case should be presented clearly, effectively and strictly in accordance with the law.
He instructed that all relevant legal provisions, rules, regulations and government policies must be taken into consideration during court proceedings to ensure effective protection of the Authority’s interests. He issued these directions while hearing the stance of a party regarding compliance with a court order in a pending case.
Director Town Planning Asma Mohsin, Legal Consultant Rana Saleem, and other concerned officers were also present on the occasion.
Reviewing the laws, rules and policies governing town planning, the DG FDA said it was the Authority’s responsibility to provide timely relief to citizens within the legal framework.

In cases involving legal complexities, he said, every effort should be made to resolve issues through administrative and legal channels before they escalate into litigation.

Reaffirming his commitment to institutional reforms, the DG FDA said that a modern command and control system was being implemented within the Authority to provide citizens with greater convenience, faster services and timely relief in accordance with legal requirements.
