Pakistan dismisses the petition over Raj Kapoor’s Haveli

Pakistan dismisses the petition

The old walled city located in the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has been designated a national treasure by the provincial government in 2016, and a Pakistani court has denied a suit seeking ownership over the haveli owned by renowned Bollywood star Raj Kapoor.

The actor Dilip Kumar's haveli in Peshawar's well-known Qissa Khwani Bazaar had already been declared a national treasure by the federal government, led at the time by then-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and ruling by the same court relating to the acquisition process of that haveli.
