ORDER

' SHAHID KARIM, J.--- The learned counsel for the respondent-PHA has produced a letter from the President of Cosmopolitan Club (Club), which is to the following effect: ' That the undersigned received your above mention Letter pertaining to Writ Petition No,2828/2016 in which you have inquired about the functioning of the Golf Cart, as the same is to submit before the Honorable Court.

' That the Club Management has arranged its own Golf Cart which is functioning in routine to facilitate the senior/ handicap members of the Club."

2. The grievance of the petitioner was that the petitioner has a legitimate expectation under the National Policy for Persons, 2002 that he be transported from the gate of Bagh-e-Jinnah to the Club of which he is a member as he is unable to walk. According to him, there is no means by which the petitioner can commute from the gate of Bagh-e-Jinnah to the premises of the Club as private vehicles are not allowed to enter the Bagh-e-Jinnah and thus the petitioner is precluded from traveling for that distance. The learned counsel for PHA submitted on the last date of hearing that according to an agreement between the PHA and the Club, the Club is obliged to provide golf cart service for pick and drop of the disabled persons such as the petitioner. The letter by the President, which has been reproduced above, has been produced before this Court and by which clearly it has been mentioned that the Club management had arranged golf carts which are functional to facilitate the seniors/handicap members of the Club. In view of the statement furnished by the President of the Club and produced by the learned counsel for PHA, this petition has borne fruit as facilities in the nature of a golf cart are available and are functioning to enable the petitioner to traverse the distance from the gate of Bagh-e-Jinnah to the premises of the Club.

However, it is made clear that the PHA Shall remain obliged to ensure that the golf carts remained functional and available for persons like the petitioner. With this direction, the instant petition is disposed of.
