The Supreme Court was informed on Tuesday that real estate tycoon Malik Riaz and his son Ali Riaz were yet to be arrested over fake and illegal transfer of 1,401 kanals of land despite being nominated by the Rawalpindi Anti-Corruption Establishment. Appearing on notice, Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Punjab Director General Abid Javed told a three-member Supreme Court bench of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Khilji Arif Hussain and Justice Tariq Parvez that during the investigation, 16 people were found involved in the fake and illegal transfer of land, of which seven had been arrested. To a court query, he said Malik Riaz and his son Ali had not been arrested so far. The court was hearing a bail application filed by one of the arrested accused, Tanveer Hussain. Meanwhile, the court disposed of the case after Raza Pasha, counsel for estate agent Tanveer Hussain told the court that he wished to withdraw his bail application from the Supreme Court and wanted to contest his case in a trial court.
He contended that during the transfer of hundreds of kanals of land to Bahria Town, his client did not get any benefit. The court accepted his request and disposed of the plea as dismissed. To a court query, Pasha told the court that the benefit of fake and illegal transfer of land went to Malik Riaz and his son. Earlier on October 6, the Rawalpindi ACE had submitted in the Supreme Court a re-investigation report on acquisition of hundreds of kanals of land on the outskirts of Rawalpindi through bogus documents. ACE had found the role of four revenue department officials and two senior officials of Bahria Town in the land scam.
Tehsildar Adnan Bashir Kiani, Patwari Muhammad Rizwan, Tanveer Hussain Shah and Muhammad Hussain of the Revenue Department and Colonel (r) Saeed Akhtar and Muhammad Iqbal of Bahria Town have already been arrested by ACE in addition to an estate agent, Tanveer Hussain.
The FIR of the case was registered in November 2009 against officials of the revenue and other departments for preparing fake identity cards and ownership documents of the land, of which 1,235 kanals were transferred in the name of Bahria Town’s site supervisor Muhammad Iqbal, 60 kanals in the name of Malik Riaz and 300 kanals in the name of his son Ali Riaz. The case was registered after the villagers of Saghri in Rawat had approached the ACE against the revenue officials for allegedly depriving them of their land.

  7. I think at present, malik riaz is the most sincere and capable person in pakistan right now.. the amount he is donating in charity to the people of pakistan, he is not even making publicity of 1/100th of it

    and concerning these cases, he has been nominated in cases from murder to fraud many times, but every time, there was no proof against allegations, because people try to blackmale him, using his name and credibilty.

    Our public dont have courage to appreciate the real heroes and result is in front of our eyes.

    If your narrow minded mentality cant accept, just travel and see what this person has done and doing right now, he is making 800 villages in flood affected areas, and ashiana project of punjab govt, he is giving free machinery and full support just for charity.

    Shame on us………

    • I totally agree with you. Corrept Polititians and Government Officials use to blackmail Malik Riaz. He has develope great society i.e Bahria Town. We proudly live here have all quality facilities. I recommend he should be given Mayor Ship of Rawalpindi for two years just he will make all Rawalpindi City just like Bahria Town. Government should take note of this blackmailing.

  9. I think this is all bull shit, let them court to decide, but one think which i share with all people that the way he works is outstanding. Specially phase 8, Rawalpindi.

  10. To be rich in Pakistan, this is the only way which Malik Riaz has adopted. Yes, these rich are very generous also and donate to charities from their wealth – made by legal and illegal means. This generosity washes down the guilt.

  11. Making this nation fool is very easy.Malik Riaz grabs land of 1 billion and gives 1% money in social welfare projects.The strategy of Malik Riaz land mafia is similar to Italian mafias which dominated in America in 1920's.
    I know widows,orphan whose money was grabbed by Malik Riaz after physical tortures.Curse on such infidels

  12. Malik Riaz Choron ka king hai.Itna begharet aur Haram nasal admi Pakistan main kahin nazar nahi aa ga jo ghareeb aur yateem Pakistanis ke land grab kar ke imdadi kam karta hai.Ise kutti ka bacha kahna chahiya

  23. hi,I am almas khan,I dont know about malik riaz,but my senior says that malik riaz was just a boy working with people,he waz not as rich but poor,but his hard work make him and his senserity make him to success,so that is true and who blame him are just may be jealose from him,or he may nothing to do,so leave blaming and talking about any one else,and do struggle for achieving your goal

  25. We are firstly muslims then Pakistanis. Read Surah Humazah in the Quran and take advice from this. Don't slander anyone without any proof and look within yourself? What have you yourselves ever contributed to Pakistan. It is for these very reasons that Pakistanis who slander others i.e Malik Riaz for having made great progress do nothing but create hell for themselves in Akhira. Who are you to judge others. Allah is the supreme judge, who decides every matter. Therefore correct your inner selves and show the world that you are also a successful muslim and Pakistani.

  26. Allaha pak malik riaz r un k betay Ali ko kbi kisi mushkil mai na dalay kio k malik sb aik bht naik insan hai
