CDA Gives Fazlur Rehman 15 Days to Remove Alleged Illegal Work at Islamabad Home
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has given Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman 15 days to remove alleged illegal constructions from his residence in Islamabad, or face possible demolition and legal action. The Fazlur Rehman CDA notice, dated October 30, 2026, was issued by the CDA’s Directorate of Building Control (City) and pasted at the premises.
The notice concerns Plot No. 07, Street No. 83, Sector G-6/4, and is addressed to Amanullah, son of Muhammad Younus, identified as the owner and occupant of the property where Rehman resides.
What the Fazlur Rehman CDA notice lists
The notice lists three alleged violations under the Islamabad Capital Territory Building Control Regulations: unauthorised construction in the building setbacks, guard posts installed on CDA land, and a generator installed on CDA land. The CDA directed that all violations be removed within 15 days.
The notice also reaches back seven years. It refers to an affidavit dated March 18, 2019, submitted by the owner when a no-objection certificate was issued. According to the notice, the affidavit promised that setback violations would be removed within three months and CDA regulations would be followed. The authority says the violations remain unresolved.
Failure to comply could bring legal proceedings under the CDA Ordinance and the building control regulations. Possible action includes sealing the building, demolishing the unauthorised structures, and starting proceedings to cancel the property’s allotment.
One detail needs care. Some news reports mention an additional kitchen inside the residence as a further violation. The notice text quoted in other coverage lists only the three violations above and does not mention a kitchen. This article sticks to the notice itself.
Political reaction and wider enforcement drive
Rehman’s son and JUI-F leader Maulana Asjad Mahmood described the action as retaliatory and linked it to his father’s political differences with the government. The notice lands during an escalating exchange between Rehman and senior government figures over the political and security situation in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, where emergency and governor’s rule remain in force.
The CDA has also issued notices to several religious seminaries over alleged illegal constructions and regulatory violations, giving their administrations the same 15-day deadline. Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi has said the relevant administration will decide the status of the Mufti Mehmood Centre, warning that those occupying land through encroachments will have to vacate it.
The episode shows how a routine building-control file can turn political when the property belongs to a leading opposition figure. The CDA’s case rests on a paper trail going back to the 2019 affidavit, while the JUI-F response frames the timing as pressure. The next 15 days will show whether the violations are removed, challenged, or enforced.
