Pak court stops auctioning of gurdwara land in Peshawar

A high court in northwest Pakistan has stopped the auction of a portion of land belonging to an ancient gurdwara and directed the country's anti corruption watchdog to probe the matter

The two member bench of the Peshawar High Court comprising Justice Roohul Amin and Justice Mian Attique Shah stopped the auction of the land on a writ petition filed by Sahib Singh through his lawyers. Singh had challenged the auction of the gurdwara land

The bench during the hearing of the petition directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to probe the matter and take action against those involved in the auction process.
