KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) Friday issued notices to the provincial government, Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA), and healthcare commission in a plea against the sealing of Dr. Arif Alvi’s dental clinic.

A two-member bench heard the plea, filed by the former President’s wife Samina Alvi, and son Awab Alvi. The court sought replies from the respondents by October 7.

Earlier today, the Sindh High Court fixed a plea against the Sindh Building Control Authority for sealing Dr. Arif Alvi’s clinic in Karachi’s Sindhi Muslim Cooperative Housing Society.

Petitoner’s lawyer Barrister Ali Tahir informed the court that the SBCA on Thursday sealed the dental clinic following complaints of commercial activities being carried out in a residential area adjacent to Sharea Faisal.

Alvi’s counsel Ali further added that the dental clinic was operationalized for a long time and no notice was issued before sealing the clinic, adding that the act was political revenge.

According to SBCA, the dental clinic was built on a residential plot, which is illegal. The clinic was sealed following complaints of commercial activities in a residential area.
