No status stated.
Defence Housing Authority Karachi says: “MAPS (DHA City Karachi) | DHA City Karachi | SECTOR 9”.

The authority lists this name and states no status for it. That does not mean it is approved, and it does not mean it is illegal. Ask the authority before you rely on it.
This is about the society, not your plot. A plot needs its own check.
The society’s status says nothing about one plot. Ask for these, from these offices. Tick each as you get it. Ticks stay in this browser only.
This list cannot tell you a plot is clear. No open data supports that. It tells you what to ask for, and where.
