Pre-demolition work begins at Nasla Tower as CJP chastises Karachi commissioner for flouting court orders
After the Supreme Court on Wednesday chastised Karachi Commissioner Muhammad Iqbal Memon over his failure to carry out court orders to raze Nasla Tower and warned of being held in contempt, pre-demolition work at the doomed high-rise began.

A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed and comprising Justice Ijaz Ul Ahsan and Justice Qazi Mohammad Amin Ahmed, while hearing a number of cases on Karachi's civic issues, instructed the commissioner to use all heavy equipment and machinery available at his disposal and "immediately demolish" Nasla Tower and Tejori Heights. He also ordered that a report be submitted in the court later in the day.

At the outset of the hearing, the chief justice inquired whether the demolition order had been carried out or not. To this, Memon said that he needed "guidance" from the court and wanted to say something.

"Cut to the chase, did you demolish the building or not?" the chief justice questioned as he grilled the commissioner and warned that he could be sent to jail over contempt of court.
