The bench comprised Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, Justice Ijaz Ahmed Chaudhry and Justice Umar Ata Bandial heard the matter at SC Lahore Registry.
During the case hearing, Water and Sanitation Authority (WASA) managing director submitted a blue print for the project for rainwater disposal. He said that work on the project could not start as the Finance Department had not given any funds for its undertaking despite approval of PC 1 of the project.
