Supreme Court has allowed Punjab Government to proceed ahead with the construction of Orange Line Train project in Lahore.

A five member bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan, announced the reserved verdict in Islamabad on Friday.

The court set aside orders of the Lahore High Court in the case.      

The court, with a majority judgement of four to one endorsed and approved the NOCs and permission letters issued by the competent authorities and the recommendations of experts relating to execution, mitigation and remedial measures required to be adopted by the executing agency.

The judgement, however, requires the executing agencies to meet certain conditions. These include necessary arrangements to ensure that the monuments remain stable and undamaged in all respects during the execution of the Project.
