Suppose, I bought an apartment building which was built on a legally owned land and with all the required permits. At the time of purchase I had building inspection done. Very next year building department did inspection and declared the building is unsafe. Now please provide me solution to my problem, where I don't have insurance and fixing building will cost more than demolition and rebuilding it?
Not a relevant example. The case here is not about a structure that is unsafe, or has become unsafe in a year's time. The case is that the land was termed legal by the relevant authorities. There is no way for the buyers other than trusting the authorities.
Now that trust is no more.
Regarding your example, in civilized countries, courts will award compensation to the buyer if he or she proves that at the time of first inspection, the building was unsafe but wrongly declared safe. If building was safe and inspector didn't make any mistake, then the responsibility of not buying insurance is on the buyer. Structures can become weak due to certain natural causes and no one can predict them. But when it happens, it happens with many buildings.. such as after an earthquake or a rise in ground water level.
Another situation: I bought drug from a street drug peddler Mr X. Police confiscated this drug from me. I told Police I have all the proofs to buy this drug from Mr X so caught Mr X not me. When Police arrested Mr X, he said Yes I sold it to him but Drugs belongs to drug dealer Mr Y and he is working only on commission, so arrest Mr Y. When Police went to Mr Y, he said yes Mr X is a commission agent but he bought this drug from manufacturer Mr Z. When Police approached Mr Z, he told in order to manufacture this drug he acquired Material from a Chemist A and Farmer B. Please advise who should be punished for the drugs?
Also government ordered to destroy the drugs confiscated. Is is fair to destroy this drug instead selling it to drugs addicts?
Lol.. you are really giving flawed examples.
The drug is a KNOWN illegal thing. If you are naive enough that you don't know about illegal drugs, and go to the authorities and ask for a permit to buy it, they will tell you in the first place its trading will definitely land you in jail.
See, how much you give this matter a spin, a zulm remains a zulm. The buyers in Nasla Tower spent their lives' savings to buy the apartment in that building after the builder got all the permits from the relevant government departments, including the local/ provincial governments, and the concerned cooperative society. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY FOR A BUYER IN KARACHI TO CHECK THE STATUS OF THE LAND'S LEGAL STATUS AND ITS OWNERSHIP. IF THERE IS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
Again, in civilized countries, the government departments (not just the individuals) would have been sued for converting an illegal land into a legal one. Each buyer would have been fully compensated, taking into account the increase in the prices of the similar properties in the same area. The compensation would have come from the departments, rather than the builder to clear the owners first.
Then, an investigation against the builder would have continued, and if he had been found guilty of bribing the individuals, or other wrongdoings, he would have been sent to jail along with heavy fines and cancellation of builder permits. Builders assets would have been ceased, auctioned, if required.
The court here has taken all the action against the residents, who paid full amount to own a property approved by the government, yet there is no action against the authorities and local/ provincial governments, who issued permits.
I didn't know it would be so difficult for me to clarify myself.
