On April 30th, residents of Clifton Block 6 took a navy officer to court on grounds of misuse of property. The petitioners claim that the accused Commodore (retd) Tajuddin Najmi occupied 172 square yards of land, on which he is allegedly constructing a building to house flats and a Naval League office. This is in direct violation of the area's property regulations, as it is a strictly residential zone. The deputy attorney general claims that the land in fact belongs to the CDGK, and therefore the Navy had no right to occupy the land in the first place. This move by Clifton residents represents a major step towards restricting the influence of the power establishment on civilian affairs.
