Legal issues

Bahria Town brand name controversy

In a significant legal dispute, business tycoon Malik Riaz was ordered by a Rawalpindi district court to pay Rs388.13 million as compensation to the Bahria Foundation for unauthorized use of the ‘Bahria’ brand name for his housing society. The dispute began in 1996 when Hussain Global, representing Riaz, partnered with the Bahria Foundation to establish Asia’s largest private housing society, Bahria Town. Despite an agreement to cease using naval nomenclature for his housing society, a case was filed against Riaz in 2002. Despite the setback, Riaz’s legal adviser has stated they will appeal the verdict.

The Navy was the last to establish its own welfare foundation in 1981 under a legal act similar to the others. It received an initial grant of Rs 3 million from the PN's own welfare funds. Unlike the other foundations, Bahria's ventures are fairly small and most of these are carried out through private investment.
