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.

The Sindh High Court (SHC) has dismissed bail applications of three suspects in a case pertaining to Benami accounts, multi-billion money laundering, parallel banking and gambling.
Naresh Kumar, alias KG, Mohammad Faisal, alias Chitta, and Naresh Kumar, alias Jani, were arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for their involvement in operations of Benami accounts, money laundering and parallel banking practices.
According to the FIA, all the accused were in liaison with foreign accomplices by virtue of internet web portals to cheat the general public. The accused also opened various Benami accounts with all commercial banks to camouflage the nature of ill-gotten funds under the guise of dummy businesses in connivance with bankers.
