A three-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Jawwad S Khawaja on Tuesday asked the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa authorities to come up with a plan to rebuild the Shri Paramhans Ji Maharaj's Samadhi in Teri village of Karak district.

The chief justice said that the order must not be defied and should be implemented at all cost.

The temple has been partially restored, but the court expressed dissatisfaction over it and order Karak Deputy Commissioner (DC) Shoaib Jadoon and provincial Home Secretary Arbab Mohammad Arif to hire an expert architect for proper restoration and renovation.
