Dilshod Rakhimov, a citizen engaged in entrepreneurial activities in the Goshkopir district of the Khorezm region, has appealed to the prosecutor's office regarding a situation related to construction.

The appeal states that a multi-story residential building is being constructed by the private enterprise “Brother Gold Hous”, which is impacting the area and access roads in front of the entrepreneur's non-residential properties.

Where did the problem start?

According to Rakhimov's statement, with the aim of establishing entrepreneurial activities, he purchased several properties located on Al-Beruni street, Chamanzor mahalla, Goshkopir district, in the name of his spouse Matluba Otaniyozova through an electronic online auction.

He stated that these properties previously belonged to “Khadra Khasan” LLC. Due to the company's credit debts, the properties were put up for auction, and he repurchased them on April 27, 2026. The entrepreneur planned to reorganize trade complexes in these properties.

However, he emphasizes that right in front of these very properties, the construction of a multi-story residence has been started by “Brother Gold Hous”, blocking the road and standing very close to the existing buildings.

According to Rakhimov, despite appealing to the officials of the construction organization several times, the works were continued.

Which documents does the entrepreneur rely on?

The appeal notes that the cadastral documents belonging to “Khadra Khasan” LLC clearly marked the boundaries of buildings, structures, and the area.

Rakhimov emphasizes that there are instances where the boundaries in the cadastral and design documents belonging to “Brother Gold Hous” overlap with the boundaries of his property. For this reason, he appealed to a number of state bodies. The issue was also brought to court.

In the presidential decree — an eco-market, but in the khokimiyat's record — 9-story buildings

There is another important document in this case. Resolution No. 67 was formalized at the end of a meeting held in the Goshkopir district khokimiyat under the chairmanship of the then district khokim Shuhrat Ahmedov. It approved the architectural-planning assignment (APA) developed for the objects planned for construction at the address: Chamanzor mahalla, Al-Beruni street, houses 25 and 25A. The document envisages 9-story, multi-apartment residential buildings.

The most important question here is — to what extent does this record comply with the conditions defined in Presidential Decree No. PQ-410 dated November 29, 2024?

Because paragraph 11 of PQ-410 states that when consent is given to sell the 51 percent state share of “Goshkopir Dehqon Bozori” LLC, the main conditions are defined as preserving the type of activity of the society, and establishing a modern eco-market, trade and consumer service (with a parking lot), and an entertainment complex based on the concept.

Despite this, it is recorded in the document that later during the district khokimiyat meeting, an APA envisaging the construction of multi-story dwellings in this area was approved. Thus, the issue does not simply end with the phrase “housing construction is indicated in a document.” Several interconnected legal questions arise here: Have the conditions defined in PQ-410 changed? If they have changed, who and on what legal basis changed them? Can the district khokimiyat meeting record serve as an independent legal basis to deviate from these requirements of the Presidential Decree?

In particular, it is noteworthy that there is a difference between the composition of the objects indicated in PQ-410 and the composition of the APA approved in record No. 67. Therefore, we believe that record No. 67 and the urban planning documents subsequently adopted on its basis must be legally evaluated by authorized bodies for compliance with the requirements of PQ-410.

Furthermore, Shuhrat Ahmedov, who chaired this meeting, worked in the position of the khokim of Goshkopir district from November 2023 to October 2026. In October 2026, he was appointed to the position of Deputy Director of the Agency for the Development of Animal Husbandry and Pasture Economy.

That is why today the issue is not just about the construction itself. A clear assessment must also be given to whether there is a legal connection and contradiction between the conditions defined in the Presidential decree and the document adopted in the district khokimiyat.

Moreover, Dilshod Rahimov believes that the construction of a multi-story residential building was not envisaged in this decree. According to his statement, later “Brother Gold Hous” was issued state order No. 2025-Y-13/005 confirming the property right regarding the 51 percent state share of “Goshkopir Dehqon Bozori” LLC.

The order clearly records the condition of establishing a modern eco-market, trade and consumer services, parking lot, and an entertainment complex while maintaining the company's type of activity. However, the khokimiyat...

Yet a conclusion was subsequently given for multi-story housing construction

One of the main questions in the appeal is related to conclusion No. 225858524 issued on November 1, 2025, by the working body of the architecture and urban planning council under the Department of Construction and Housing-Communal Economy of the Khorezm region.

Rahimov emphasizes that this conclusion enabled “Brother Gold Hous” to build a multi-story house, but such construction was not envisaged in the President's Decree No. PQ-410.

Based on this, he applied to the Urgench inter-district administrative court asking to invalidate this conclusion. However, the court did not satisfy Rakhimov's claim.

There are also objections regarding cadastral data

The appeal states that reference No. 02-10790 dated September 24, 2026 was submitted to the court by the Khorezm regional department of the State Cadastre Agency.

Rahimov stated that this reference indicates the boundaries belonging to “Brother Gold Hous” do not infringe upon the non-residential building belonging to Matluba Otaniyozova and its boundaries. However, the entrepreneur claims this data is untrue.

For this reason, he is asking the prosecutor's office to investigate whether false information was submitted to the court, and if there are guilty persons, to resolve the issue of their responsibility. This situation must undoubtedly be investigated by authorized bodies based on documents.

Objections are also expressed regarding the court ruling

According to the appellant, the court reviewed this matter three times. In the end, the Urgench inter-district administrative court cited the expiration of the 6-month period established for reviewing the application as one of the grounds.

Rakhimov, on the other hand, emphasizes that he did not know about the existence of conclusion No. 225858524 in advance. According to his statement, he learned about this conclusion in August 2026 during the process of familiarizing himself with the case materials, after receiving a response on July 27, 2026, from the Khorezm regional territorial department of the Inspection for Control in the Sphere of Construction and Housing-Communal Economy.

Therefore, the appellant also objects to the court's conclusion regarding the time limit, emphasizing that incorrect information is presented in the decision.

What is being asked of the prosecutor's office?

Rakhimov asked the Khorezm regional prosecutor's office to study these situations with his participation and on the basis of documents.

In particular, it is requested to:

  • investigate the construction-related documents issued to “Brother Gold Hous”;

  • study the authenticity of cadastral data;

  • provide a legal assessment of whether there are legal violations in the information submitted to the court;

  • if signs of a crime are detected, resolve the issue of the responsibility of responsible persons;

  • take measures within the framework of the law regarding the decision of the Urgench inter-district administrative court No. 5-2201-2601/882 dated September 25, 2026 and achieve its review in an appellate procedure.

For now, the situations presented in this material are being described based on the statements of the appellant party. The reactions of “Brother Gold Hous”, the Khorezm regional department of the State Cadastre Agency, and the court to these objections need to be studied separately. EFFECT.UZ is also ready to publish the official responses of the relevant organizations regarding this situation.
