SHC seeks govt's comments as recent postings in KMC challenged

Karachi
February 14, 2021
The Sindh High Court (SHC) has issued notices to the local government secretary, provincial law officers and others on a petition against frequent postings and transfers of the Sindh government’s high ranking officers in the local councils of urban centres of the province — Karachi, Hyderabad and Sukkur.
Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan MNA Usama Qadri and others have approached the SHC for the enforcement of the Article 140-A of the constitution, which makes it imperative for the provincial government to devolve political, administrative and financial responsibility and authority to the elected representatives of the local governments.
The petitioners submitted that the Sindh local government department had issued a notification on October 8, 2020, whereby the posts of various cadres on the strength of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) were placed on the schedule of the establishment of local council of Sindh in disregard to the Sindh Local Government Act, 2013 and rules framed thereunder.
