KARACHI:
The Sindh High Court issued on Friday an interim stay order against the demolition of farm houses owned by opposition leader in the Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh in a contempt plea relating to the matter. The court also issued contempt of court notices to the Sindh chief secretary and other parties.
At the hearing, counsel for the petitioner, advocate Shamsul Islam, contended that the demolition of the properties by the Sindh government was an act of revenge and that the provincial had wrongly interpreted the Supreme Court s order on the matter.
