Pak court dismisses petition seeking ownership over Raj Kapoor’s Haveli in Peshawar

Peshawar, May 1 (PTI) A Pakistani court has dismissed a petition seeking ownership over legendary Bollywood actor Raj Kapoor’s Haveli in the historic walled city here in the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which has been declared a national heritage by the provincial government in 2016.

A two-member bench of the Peshawar High Court comprising Justices Ishtiaq Ibrahim and Abdul Shakoor on Thursday dismissed the ownership case of the petitioner.

The court dismissed the petition in light of an earlier judgment of the same court pertaining to the acquisition process of legendary actor Dilip Kumar’s haveli in Peshawar’s famous Qissa Khwani Bazaar, which had already been declared a national heritage by the federal government led by the then prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
