The Capital Development Authority (CDA) had declared the construction of the PTI chairman's house illegal during a hearing on May 9, 2017. The apex court had ordered the CDA to verify the documents submitted by the PTI chairman. A report was submitted by the CDA in the Supreme Court which stated that the authority has declared 122 buildings illegal which included Khan's Bani Gala residence as well. It said that the construction was against the regulations of Islamabad Capital Territory. In a hearing on February 13, the Supreme Court summoned property documents of the Bani Gala residence from the CDA.
Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar warned that the residential structures in Bani Gala would be demolished if they are not found as per the laws and regulations of the CDA. "Building regulations must be abided by," the Chief Justice remarked during the hearing on illegal structures in Bani Gala. The counsel for Khan, Babar Awan maintained that the CDA has no authority over private properties, adding that the constructions around Rawal Dam are illegal.
