Karachi’s Regent Plaza formally handed over to SIUT

Pakistan Hotel Development Limited (PHDL) signed a formal agreement on Tuesday with the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) and transferred the title and possession of Karachi’s Regent Plaza Hotel to the provincial institute.


A press release issued by SIUT said that lawyers and accountants from the sides, including founder and SIUT Director Professor Adib Rizvi and SIUT’s Trustee Shabbar Zaidi, were present at the formal agreement signing ceremony.


Last year, PHDL — which owned Regent Plaza — told investors that SIUT had offered to buy its property for Rs14.5 billion. The purchase was finalised by SIUT to convert it into a hospital in July.


Regent Plaza Hotel and Convention Centre is located on the main Sharea Faisal in an area of 13,200 square yards. The total covered area of the multi-storey building is 47,034 square yards.


The 1500-bed SIUT is located in a congested part of the old city. Patients from all parts of the country come here for treatment due to its high quality of care, extensive range of services and unique model of free care at the point of contact.


The newly acquired property is strategically located in the city’s heart, near other major hospitals, and boasts excellent public transport access. Its proximity to the cantonment railway station will facilitate easier access for patients from other parts of the country, alleviating the need to navigate the congested area where SIUT’s flagship hospital currently operates, it added.

CJP questions how ‘clarification order’ made it to website

ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa has raised nine questions in a letter to the Supreme Court’s registrar, seeking clarification on how a Sept 14 clarification order was uploaded to the top court’s website. The Sept 14 order, issued by eight judges led by senior puisne judge Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, criticised the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for failing to implement the Supreme Court’s July 12 judgement, which declared the PTI eligible for reserved seats in parliament. In his letter dated Sept 21, the CJP wondered who directed the uploading of the Sept 14 clarification order on the Supreme Court’s website. His inquiry followed a note from the Deputy Registrar (Judicial), who flagged the issue of the order’s appearance on the website. The note questioned how the order was uploaded when no cause list had been issued, no notices had been sent to the parties, and the order had not been received by the deputy registrar’s office until 8pm on the...

NA secretariat list shows 80 PTI MNAs as SIC lawmakers despite SC reserved seats verdict

The National Assembly Secretariat has shown 80 PTI MNAs as part of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) in an updated list of the actual party positions in parliament’s lower house after accounting for the Supreme Court’s (SC) verdict in the reserved seats’ case, it emerged on Friday. In July, the top court declared the PTI eligible to receive reserved seats for women and non-Muslims in the national and provincial assemblies, giving it a new lease on life in the legislature by declaring it a parliamentary party. The SC dealt a further major blow to the PML-N-led coalition government on Saturday, as it reprimanded the Election Commi­ssion of Pakistan (ECP) for not implementing its July 12 judgement, further complicating the Shehbaz Sharif-led administration’s efforts to secure the required numbers to pass a controversial Constitutional Package related to the judiciary. The SC clarified that as per the position, 41 returned candidates, out of a total of 80 MNAs, would remain members ...
