Islamabad, July 26, 2021 (PPI-OT):President Dr. Arif Alvi today ordered a refund of 1.1 million rupees to a complainant against the Capital Development Authority. Complainant Maj (retd) Masood Bajwa was denied return of the conversion fee deposited to CDA for setting up a Compressed Natural Gas station in the federal capital. The complainant had filed a representation with the President assailing the order of the Wafaqi Mohtasib, which had turned down his plea on the grounds of limitation and also on the basis of CDA’s Board’s decision declaring the fee paid for obtaining the No Objection Certificate as non-refundable.

The President, in his decision, stated that the complainant’s money, deposited for a specific purpose, could not be forfeited nor confiscated without the backing of the existing laws. He said the Board was not empowered to act of its own whims especially when its actions deprive a citizen of his own money.
