Mr. Qazi Ajmal Kamal, Advocate for Petitioner. Ms. Wajiha Mehdi, Deputy Attorney General. Mr. Muhammad Akram Tariq, Advocate for Respondent. Mr. Khurram Ghayaz, Advocate for Respondent. ______________ O R D E R Adnan-ul-Karim Memon, J Petitioner Shahzad Raheem, Honorary Secretary of Ramchand Gobindram Sehwani Co -operative Housing Society Ltd., has invoked the constitutional jurisdiction of this Court under Article 199 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973, seeking redress against the issuance and consequential actions a rising out of a show cause notice and sealing of the Society’s office. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that a show cause notice dated 13.02.2026 was issued by the respondents, to which a proper reply was duly submitted. However, before any final deci sion could be taken on the said notice, the office of the petitioner Society was sealed, which, according to the petitioner, is illegal, without lawful authority, and in violation of due process. It is further contended that such action amounts to an arbit rary exercise of power and has resulted in undue interference and harassment of the Society’s affairs. The petitioner, therefore, seeks quashment of the impugned notice, de -sealing of the office premises, and restraining the respondents from taking any coe rcive or illegal action. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondents submits that the reply to the show cause notice has been received by the competent authority, and the same is under consideration. It is further assured that a final decisio n on the show cause notice shall be taken within a period of four weeks in accordance with the law. The request seems to be reasonable and acceded to. 4. In view of the statement made by the respondents, without touching the merits of the case, the matter is disposed of with the direction that the competent authority shall decide the show cause notice within the stipulated period after

hearing of all concerned. It is further observed that in the event of failure to pass a decision within the aforesaid timef rame, the sealed premises of the petitioner Society shall be de-sealed. 5. The petition along with pending application(s) stands disposed of in these terms. J U D G E
