The Supreme Court of Pakistan has ordered to reopen Monal restaurant in Islamabad and suspended the previous order by the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
At the hearing on Tuesday, Judge Mazahir Naqvi suspended the IHC order which was issued to close down the popular eatery spot.
The judge asked angrily, “What is this monarchy?”
“How can the orders be implemented before the documents were even signed,” he asked.
The restaurant lawyer, Makhdoom Ali Khan, raised the point in the last hearing that the eatery spot was closed down before written documents were issued by the high court.

On January 11, IHC ordered Islamabad’s Chief Commissioner to seal the Monal Restaurant in Margalla Hills National Park and Navy Golf Course after hearing a case against encroachments.
