NAB Karachi Recovers 80 Acres of Government Land in Hyderabad

The watchdog cited an underpriced sale, missed payments, plus failure to build the required university.

Overview

  • NAB Karachi said it secured back 80 acres at the Gulistan-e-Sarmast housing scheme in Hyderabad, valuing the plot at about Rs 6 billion.
  • After NAB took up the case, the Hyderabad Development Authority canceled the allotment and reclaimed possession of the land.
  • Authorities also forfeited the partial amount Bahria Town had paid, citing non-compliance with agreed terms.
  • NAB said the land was allotted for Rs 383 million, far below market value, and the company defaulted on required payments.
  • The allotment required a university that NAB says was never built, and the report did not include any response from Bahria Town.
