Governor Tessori moves Supreme Court against SHC ruling

KARACHI:  Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori challenged the Sindh High Court (SHC) decision giving access to acting Governor Awais Qadir Shah full access to offices, without hearing the other party.

Kamran Tessori approached the Supreme Court (SC) and filed a constitutional petition through Barrister Abid Zuberi.

According to the petition, no one, including the Principal Secret, obstructed Acting Governor Awais Qadir Shah from attending any meeting. It further states that video evidence is available to prove that the Acting Governor was accorded full protocol.

The petition states that according to the rules, the acting governor cannot be given access to the Governor House. The Sindh High Court has disposed the plea without hearing our position.

On the request of Governor Sindh, the Supreme Court Karachi Registry said that it was a constitutional petition and it would be heard before the constitutional bench in Islamabad.

Earlier, Acting Governor Owais Shah had accused Kamran Tessori of taking the keys to the office during a visit abroad while he had contacted the Sindh High Court for access to the office.

Sindh High Court had granted permission to Acting Governor Awais Qadir Shah to enter and access the Governor House office.
