The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has issued a final show-cause notice to M/s Yar Muhammad Scheme in Bani Gala, Islamabad, over alleged unauthorized development. The authority has ordered an immediate stop to all unapproved construction, land development, marketing, plot transfers and property allotments within the scheme.
According to the notice, the project was developed without the required approval of its Layout Plan (LOP) and No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the CDA, allegedly violating applicable planning laws and regulations. The authority also stated that several warnings and public notices issued between 2016 and 2025 were not followed.
The developers have been given seven days to remove unauthorized structures, discontinue unapproved land use and submit a written explanation to the CDA.
If the developers fail to comply, the CDA may initiate ex parte proceedings and take enforcement action, including demolition of unauthorized structures and sealing of project offices. The authority said the costs of demolition and restoration would be recovered from those responsible.
The CDA also referred to relevant Supreme Court and Islamabad High Court rulings supporting action against unauthorized developments in Bani Gala.
Copies of the notice have been shared with the ICT Administration, Islamabad Police, IESCO, SNGPL, SECP and PID. Utility providers have been directed to withhold connections to unauthorized structures, while concerned authorities have been asked to stop promotional and marketing activities related to the scheme.
