Sindh to launch camera based system in Karachi to curb traffic violations

In a post on X, the Sindh Information Department said the new system would be a practical step toward justice, transparency, and modern traffic regulation. It added that traffic violations would be monitored by HD cameras instead of officers. 'Violations will be recorded, and an e-ticket, along with a photo, will be delivered to the violator's home.'

Probe ordered after woman wrongly declared dead
The Lahore High Court has disposed of a petition filed by a woman whose Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) was cancelled after she was mistakenly declared dead, despite being alive. Justice Raheel Kamran issued directions for an investigation and ordered the restoration of the woman's salary and official documentation, following confirmation by NADRA and police officials that the petitioner was, in fact, alive. During proceedings, representatives from the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) and local police appeared before the court. The petitioner's counsel informed the bench that a forged death certificate had been issued by the Municipal Committee Mureedkay and submitted to NADRA on June 12. Based on this certificate, her CNIC was cancelled. The petitioner, an employee in the Medical Department of the Lahore Development Authority (LDA), faced suspension of her salary due to the blocked Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC). Her counsel alleged that her estranged husband, upset over a dissolution of marriage suit, orchestrated the scheme by obtaining a fake death certificate to cause her financial and reputational harm. Police officials confirmed that an FIR had been registered against the husband for the alleged forgery. NADRA representatives informed the court that the woman's CNIC had now been reinstated. The Lahore Development Authority's (LDA) legal counsel also assured the court that the petitioner's salary would be resumed upon reactivation of her salary account. Justice Kamran directed the opening of a new bank account for the petitioner and instructed the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) to process pending salary payments accordingly. Additionally, he ordered the DIG (Investigation) to conduct a thorough inquiry into the matter and take appropriate legal action against those responsible for the fraudulent declaration. The petition was subsequently disposed of.

SHC suspends ombudsman's order to remove KE CEO Moonis Alvi
The Sindh High Court (SHC) has suspended provincial ombudsman's decision to remove K-Electric Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Moonis Alvi from his office. The KE through a disclosure form apprised the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) in this regard, saying that the KE CEO has filed a petition in the SHC 'which has suspended the operation of Provincial Ombudsman's Order dated July 31, 2025'. A day ago, the Sindh ombudsman had ordered to remove Alvi from his position of K-Electric's CEO, over his alleged involvement in a case pertaining to 'workplace harassment'. Sindh Ombudsman for the Protection against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Justice (retired) Shah Nawaz Tariq also imposed a fine of Rs2.5 million on Alvi in the same case. 'Moonis Abdullah Alvi is penalised under section 4(4)(ii)(c) of the Act, 2010, and is removed from his service instantly,' read the order issued by the ombudsperson. Sindh ombudsman orders to remove KE CEO Moonis Alvi for 'workplace harassment' Justice (retired) Tariq said in his decision that the KE CEO Alvi harassed and mentally tortured the complainant. 'If Moonis Alvi fails to pay the fine, his movable and immovable property should be confiscated and his CNIC and passport should also be blocked,' he ordered. Meanwhile, Alvi has termed the ombudsman's decision 'deeply distressing' for him, saying the findings did not reflect the truth of the situation as he experienced it. The KE chief executive said he always upheld the values of integrity and dignity in professional interactions, and he deeply believed in fostering safe and inclusive workplaces for all. In its disclosure form submitted to the PSX today, KE said the employee had lodged the complaint against the CEO and three other officials in November 2020 before the ombudsman, after she was terminated from services by the company 'on October 14, 2020, on performance reasons'. Following the complaint, the provincial ombudsman issued a show cause notice on November 24, 2020, to the accused persons. The show cause notice was challenged by the accused persons before the SHC for being without jurisdiction inter alia on the grounds that (i) an ex-employee could not file a complaint under the Act of 2010 after termination from employment (ii) the nature of allegations do not fall within the confines of the Act of 2010 and (iii) KE being a trans-provincial organisation, the complaint was not maintainable before the provincial ombudsman. The KE said the SHC on December 1, 2020, directed that no final order shall be passed by the provincial ombudsman, however, the court later observed that the ombudsman can continue the proceedings of the complaint. Being aggrieved by the observation of the SHC, the accused persons challenged the same before the Supreme Court, which is currently pending adjudication, it added. An appeal was also filed in the relevant office of the Sindh governor, the KE maintained.
