Mohsin Naqvi has taken an important decision to protect the property rights of overseas Pakistanis in Islamabad, according to which if overseas Pakistanis complain about illegal possession of any of their properties, the Deputy Commissioner Islamabad will be required to take a decision within seven days. The property of overseas Pakistanis will be protected, and no one will be able to legally occupy their property. Overseas Pakistanis’ investment in the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) has always been welcome and valuable. Overseas Pakistanis play an important role in the country’s economic development through their foreign exchange remittances and investments, however, it has now come to light that overseas Pakistanis are facing illegal possession of their properties, resulting in lengthy cases and administrative delays. In this context, Mohsin Naqvi’s decision is a major milestone, reflecting the commitment to restore constitutional safeguards, legal powers and the confidence of overseas Pakistanis. Mohsin Naqvi announced that if an overseas Pakistani complains of illegal possession in Islamabad, then in such a case, the Deputy Commissioner Islamabad will be bound to take a decision within seven days. This decision will help directly address the long-standing problem of delayed justice, which has discouraged overseas Pakistanis from investing in real estate due to the fear of court battles for years. Taking a quick decision not only ensures immediate relief but is also in line with Article 10A of the Constitution of Pakistan, which guarantees the right to fair and speedy justice. The Constitution of Pakistan provides strong protection of property rights. Article 23 gives every citizen the right to acquire, hold and dispose of property in any part of the country, while Article 24 protects individuals from being illegally deprived of property. Furthermore, Article 4 guarantees that all citizens shall be treated according to law and shall enjoy the protection of law. Mohsin Naqvi’s decision further strengthens these constitutional provisions, so that overseas Pakistanis can be protected from illegal occupation. Through this decision, Mohsin Naqvi has set a new standard, which will restore the confidence of overseas Pakistanis. Due to long-running cases, there has been financial loss, mental anguish, and aversion to investment. Now overseas Pakistanis are being assured that their property rights will be protected without any costly and lengthy legal battles. This will open new doors for investment in property in Islamabad. Furthermore, Mohsin Naqvi also said that investment in ICT by overseas Pakistanis is always welcome and will be valued. When they are provided with security, they will be more interested in sending their hard-earned money and foreign exchange to Pakistan through legal banking channels, which will stabilize the country’s economy and reduce dependence on illegal remittances such as money laundering. In fact, this policy links property protection with national economic stability and growth. This will increase fiscal support, which will help the government complete infrastructure and development projects on time, improve public services, and reduce dependence on external debt. , Mohsin Naqvi’s decision is a historic milestone that is an important step towards administrative reforms within the constitutional, legal, and economic framework. The resolution of illegal possession cases within seven days will prove to be a major achievement for overseas Pakistanis and will pave the way for making Islamabad a safe and investment-friendly city. Insha Allah.
