Karachi: The Sindh government still undecided and unable to solve the issue of appointment of lecturers had no defence before a division bench of the Sindh High Court (SHC), which was perturbed over non-implementation of its orders, here on Friday.
When a contempt plea filed by 336 candidates selected and recommended by the Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC) but still denied of posting orders came up for hearing, Additional Advocate General Sindh Sarwar Khan told the bench that steps are being taken to implement the orders of the court and a summary has been moved to the education department. He also informed the bench that the government has filed an appeal before Supreme Court of Pakistan. The bench again observed that in the absence of any interim order or stay, the provincial government needs to implement the orders of the SHC. AAG Sarwar Khan, unable to satisfy the court, had no other option but to seek more time. The bench allowed the request with the direction to AAG to submit a report by next date of hearing fixed as June 30.
Census stopped, DAG tells SHC: After receipt of complaints from different sources and general public, the census has been stopped at some of the areas, Deputy Attorney General Umar Hayat Sindhu told a division bench of the SHC here on Friday comprising Justice Muhammad Athar Saeed and Justice Bin Yamin. The bench was hearing a constitutional petition filed by MPAs Mir Ghalib Domki and SardarAbid Khan Sundrani who maintained that instead of local people, people from outside are deputed as census workers which is violation of the provisions of the Constitution of Pakistan.
