A Pakistani court on Friday summoned a top government official after hearing arguments in a land demarcation case involving a family park and the historical Hindu religious site of Panj Tirath here.

Panj Tirath, which got its name from five water pools present there, was declared a national heritage by the provincial Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government in northwest Pakistan in 2019. The heritage site, with two temples and a gateway, is in a dilapidated condition and in need of archaeological conservation. Most of its land is owned by the Chacha Younas Family Park, while the buildings are being used as godowns by the park owner.
