Subject: - Reply of letter No. 266-TMO-TMA/TCM dated

11.3.03 under subject.

ILLEGAL OPERATION OF “D” CLASS STAND.

Dear Sir,

The above-mentioned letter was received and it was a

surprising fact that the sanction of “D” Class stand was demanded
from the undersigned.

The new administration in the Tehsil Municipal

Administration is not aware of the facts and circumstances in which
the transporters were shifted from inside of the city to General Bus
Stand. However, probably some cases are still pending in the Apex
Supreme Court. In the year 1997, the Chairman, Regional Transport
Authority/Controller of affairs of Municipal Corporation/Appellate
Authority/Commissioner, Multan Division, Multan granted the
permission to sale a piece of land, the part of General Bus Stand, to
the New Khan Road Runners, to meet with their requirement. The
matter was also approved by the auction committee on 23.07.98 and
the Administrator of then Municipal Corporation executed a sale
deed in favour of the New Khan Road Runners.

In this sale deed, where all the legal requirements and

formalities were fulfilled, the purpose for the sale of land was also
mentioned. The words “ ” are very much
mentioned in an un-ambiguous manner. The wording mentioned in
this sale deed is however, giving a very close meaning towards Rule
253 (b) in Motor Vehicles Rules 1969. The question of sanction at
this belated stage does not mean, except to create unlawful, illegal
and unwarranted harassment to the New Khan Road Runners. The
Commissioner of then Multan Division, Multan, the Chairman
Regional Transport Committee on one hand and Controller of affairs
of then Municipal Corporation on the other hand were quite wise
and aware of the consequences of the execution of the sale deed. It
was an express permission from the Regional Transport Authority
and the Local Authority as well.

It is, therefore, respectfully requested that such a

question may not be agitated in future and obliged
please.
