The Sindh High Court issued on Saturday a written verdict on plea challenging the termination of 1,200 employees of the Karachi Port Trust (KPT), who were allegedly illegally appointed while Babar Ghauri was the federal minister for ports and shipping.
A two-member-bench, comprising Justice Aqeel Abbasi and Justice Abdul Maalik Gaddi, issued the verdict.
Earlier, the court had issued an interim verdict on the plea, setting aside the notification terminating 1,200 KPT workers.
The interim verdict was issued after the defence lawyer had told the court that 1,200 employees in question had been appointed at the KPT between June 2012 and March 2013, as per the rules.
