Imran did not own Banigala land in 2003: Revenue record also confirms NOC is fake
 

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was not the owner of Banigala land in 2003, Islamabad revenue record and Jemima Khan?s affidavit have confirmed, thus proving that a no-objection certificate (NOC) submitted before the Supreme Court by Imran was fake.
The NOC for the construction of Imran?s mansion in Banigala was purportedly issued in his name by Union Council Bhara Kahu in 2003. Earlier, a concerned official has already told the Supreme Court that the document was not issued by him.
According to revenue documents available with this correspondent, the Banigala land was transferred in Imran?s name only on June 11, 2005. Imran?s former wife Jemima Khan herself confirmed through a power of attorney on September 21, 2004 that the said land belonged to her and she wanted to transfer the same in Imran?s name.
?It is impossible that a union council or any revenue official would issue an NOC in the name of someone who does not own that land,? Deputy Commissioner Islamabad Capt (R) Mushtaq Ahmad told The News. He said such documents are only issued in the name of actual owners of the land.
But the computerised NOC submitted by Imran?s lawyer Dr Babar Awan in the apex court last month is purportedly issued by Union Council Bhara Kahu in the name of Imran Khan. The document is dated 2003.
On the other hand, the Islamabad revenue documents revealed that Jemima bought the land measuring 300 kanal 5 marla vide mutation Nos 7056 dated 26 April, 2002, No7225 dated 16 August, 2002, No 7246 dated 28 August, 2002, No 7361 and 7538 dated 11.6.2005. So before June 2005, the Banigala land was registered in the name of Jemima Khan and Imran Khan could not legally get an NOC for the construction of house from any revenue office.
The fresh documentary evidence is likely to create huge trouble for the PTI chief in the Supreme Court as the apex court had recently issued strict warning against submitting fake documents in order to cheat the court. Legal experts are calling it another Calibri-like scandal.
Earlier, a former union council secretary of Bhara Kahu Muhammad Umar had also told the Supreme Court that the NOC was fake as he never signed the document, which purportedly bears his signature. Interestingly, he also told the court that the union council did not have computer in 2003, while the ?fake? NOC is computerised.The apex court had directed Imran?s lawyer to submit his response regarding the claim of the UC secretary. The controversial NOC was presented before the apex court bench hearing a case against illegal constructions in Banigala area in the previous hearing, but the chief justice had ordered verification of the document.
