ISLAMABAD: (HRNW) The Supreme Court on Monday reserved its verdict over petitions of the MQM and the PTI seeking devolution of powers to the local councils from the Sindh government.
A bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed heard constitutional petitions over the matter.
The court asked the counsels of the Government of Sindh and the MQM to submit their written arguments in a week.
“Karachi was, is and will remain part of Sindh,” Attorney General Khalid Javed in his arguments said. “Several problems could be resolved with an empowered local government,” the government lawyer said.
“I have appeared before the court on the court’s notice and not as a lawyer of any party,” the AG said. “I think the court should itself hear this matter. The court could issue instructions to provincial governments,” Khalid Javed argued.
