ISLAMABAD: The Federal Ombudsperson Secretariat for Protection Against Harassment (FOSPAH) has ordered the restoration of possession of over 5 kanals of land to three women complainants.
According to a press release on Friday the FOSPAH under the Enforcement of Women’s Property Rights Act, 2020 ordered to restore the procession of Sajeela Naeem, Shaheen Akhtar, and Asma Akbar over the land.
The decision was swiftly complied with by the Deputy Commissioner, ensuring that justice was delivered.
As per the view of the complainants, the Hameed Nawaz group, which has multiple FIRs filed against them for illegal land occupation, had been holding the property illegally. The complainants recounted stories of violence and intimidation at the hands of armed men sent by Hameed Nawaz, who demolished their homes with heavy machinery, leaving families homeless and devastated.
These women and their families faced not only physical displacement but emotional trauma as they were forced to watch their homes and belongings being destroyed.
The Ombudsperson took speedy action, issuing an order to the Deputy Commissioner, who acted promptly to ensure the complainants’ land was restored. FOSPAH’s intervention brought an end to the distress experienced by the complainants, who expressed profound gratitude for the speedy process and just resolution of their case.
The case highlights FOSPAH’s commitment to providing timely and effective justice, particularly in protecting women’s property rights.
