The High Court of Sindh at Karachi, headed by Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, passed an order restraining the Trading Corporation of Pakistan Limited (‘TCP’) from passing any final order against our Client, i.e., Deputy Manager at TCP. By way of background, our Client was aggrieved by the unlawful actions and practices of TCP, as having served more than 20 years, the Defendants malafidely and unlawfully threatened our Client with dismissal from service/employment in blatant violation of service rules, laws, and fundamental rights as enshrined in the Constitution of Pakistan, on the unfounded allegation of submitting a forged document.
JA Legal Founding Partner Barrister Junaid Ahmed was engaged, and the Honorable Judge, Mr. Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, on 13.07.2021 passed an order restraining the corporation from passing any final order until the next date of hearing. As the matter is now in court and sub-judice, the Defendant needs to justify its illicit actions against our Client.
It is important to highlight that this relief was granted when a country-wide strike was called by the Bar Associations and Pakistan Bar Council regarding judges’ appointments for the Supreme Court of Pakistan. On that day, this was the only order passed by the Honorable Judge, and we must admire the indulgence extended.
