KARACHI/ISLAMABAD: The Sindh High Court (SHC) has temporarily suspended the implementation of a notification regarding the purchase of 138 double-cabin vehicles for Assistant Commissioners until the next hearing.
The court was hearing a petition filed by Jamaat-e-Islami Sindh Assembly member Muhammad Farooq, represented by his counsel Usman Farooq.
The SHC has given the parties involved four weeks to submit their responses to the petition.
The case concerns a letter issued by the Sindh Government’s Services, General Administration & Coordination Department (SGA&CD), seeking the release of funds for the purchase of these vehicles.
Muhammad Farooq raised concerns about the use of public funds, leading the court to take action.
