Non-completion of OLMT on time will be deemed a ‘contempt of court’: CJP

Author: Agencies

ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar Wednesday ordered timely completion of the Orange Line Metro Train (OLMT) project in Lahore, a private TV channel reported. Ordering the contractor of the project to complete it on time, the chief justice warned that non-completion of the project on the announced dates will be deemed contempt of the court. Naeem Bukhari, counsel for the contractor, informed the court that they were not being paid for the construction work. To this, the chief justice asked the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) to deposit the cheque in the court. “The contractor can receive the cheque from the court after depositing bank guarantee,” he remarked.
