Pakistani national makes huge donation to Diamer Bhasha Dam fund, family reclaims money
Shares
ISLAMABAD - Pakistani national Sheikh Shahid donated his entire property towards a fund created to construct dams in the country. All is not well and noble though as his family has turned around and claimed Shahid is mentally unstable and his donation cannot be held valid.
Shahid donated his property worth 80 million Pakistani Rupees towards the damn fund recently but his family - wife and two sons - has claimed that they were never consulted before the decision to donate. The matter escalated quickly and ended up in the country's top civilian court.
According to Dawn, the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Mian Saqib Nisar, has now ordered for a health checkup of Shahid after his wife alleged that he was suffering from mental ailments. She said that while she had good relations with him, Shahid's mental illness makes him disoriented.
What could come as a massive relief for Shahid's wife is that Nisar has already said the property cannot be accepted as a donation because of Sharia law which ensures the first right belongs to the heirs.
