History
In early 2014, Lahore High Court issued a notice to the Fortress Stadium Management to a petition challenging the construction of the mall stating: "(mall) was constructed in violation of the law. The land belongs to the federal government but the Fortress Stadium Management have leased out the land to DUPAK Developers Pakistan on October 27, 2007, for 33 years."
In May 2014, the court was hearing a petition by Nayyer Khan but both the DUPAK Pakistan Developers and Fortress Stadium Management failed to submit their replies regarding the construction site. Petitioner Nayyer Khan later said that the Pakistan Army is the sole owner of the land but the land belongs to the federal government. He also said that the land was specified as Class-AI and was reserved for military purposes.[2][3]
