ABS & Co has successfully defended a public sector entity against a potential liability of approximately PKR 2 billion in a land acquisition compensation matter, before the Court of Senior Civil Judge, Rawalpindi. In this case, landowners claimed compensation at a rate of PKR 800,000 per kanal, along with 15% compulsory acquisition charges and 8% compound interest from the date of the award until payment.
Counsels from ABS & Co vehemently opposed this claim by presenting over 127 mutations and crucial documentary evidence, including Aks Shajra and Latha, on behalf of the beneficiary department.
After recording extensive evidence and hearing detailed arguments, the court marginally increased the compensation from PKR 60,000 to PKR 65,000 per kanal, securing substantial financial relief for our client.
This matter was ably handled by Mr. Waqas Akbar under the supervision of Mr. Usman Jillani, Partner at ABS & Co.
