Islamabad, Nov 17 (IANS): Former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf has been refused a completion certificate for his farmhouse in Islamabad, a media report said.

Under the law, a completion certificate is mandatory for the owners of buildings in Islamabad. It is issued when a building is declared "clear" by the authorities concerned.

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has turned down Musharraf's application seeking a completion certificate for his farmhouse in the capital's Chak Shahzad area.

"We cannot issue completion certificate for the former president's house unless he removes all unauthorised constructions in the house and submits original site plans to the CDA," the Dawn newspaper quoted an unidentified CDA official as saying Wednesday.

Musharraf built the house when he was president (2001-2008) and did not submit any document to the CDA at that time.

Some unauthorised construction had been done in the premises which is now being demolished by the owner, he added.

Musharraf has been asked to submit the site plan and other relevant documents of the house before a completion certificate can be issued, the official said.

The former Pakistani president has been living in self-exile in Britain following his resignation from office in 2008.
