A sudden late-night operation in Islamabad has triggered public debate and legal concern. Authorities moved to take control of the high-rise residential complex “One Constitution Avenue” following an Islamabad High Court ruling.
Residents said police arrived at all entry points during the night. Many families were told to leave their apartments immediately. The sudden notice created confusion and panic among occupants.
Several residents reported they were forced to pack belongings quickly. Some families were seen leaving the building in the dark. The situation created uncertainty for those who own Apartments in the complex.
The building has gained attention due to reports that several well-known figures own Apartments there. These include political leaders, former officials, and public personalities. Their names have been widely shared in media reports.
Authorities carried out the operation after the Islamabad High Court upheld a decision by the Capital Development Authority. The ruling involved cancellation of the building’s lease due to alleged payment defaults.
However, the enforcement action was paused shortly after criticism grew. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif ordered a high-level committee to review the situation. This decision temporarily stopped further action.
Officials said the move aims to ensure fairness for residents who own Apartments in the building. They added that all affected individuals should be given proper legal hearing before any final steps.
Earlier reports about eviction notices had already spread on social media. These reports increased concern among residents and the general public. The overnight action later intensified the situation further.
A special committee has now been formed under Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar. Senior government officials are also part of the group. The committee will review the case in detail.
It has been directed to submit its findings within one week. Until then, authorities have been instructed to avoid further action against residents who own Apartments in the building.
The situation remains under close observation as legal and administrative processes continue. Officials say a final decision will be taken after the committee’s report.
Overall, the case has raised questions about property rights, legal enforcement, and transparency. Residents who own Apartments are now waiting for clarity on their future.
