Karachi – Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori has filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the Sindh High Court’s ruling that permitted acting Governor Agha Siraj Durrani to enter the Governor House’s office. The appeal, submitted through Tessori’s legal team, contests the verdict as procedurally flawed and unconstitutional.
The petition asserts that Durrani was never denied meeting access and cites video evidence of protocol compliance. It further contends that the High Court disposed of the case without hearing Tessori’s arguments, violating due process. Crucially, it maintains that interim governors legally cannot access the Governor House under existing statutes.
The dispute arose last week when Durrani accused Tessori of taking official keys abroad, effectively locking him out. The High Court intervened, granting Durrani entry—a decision now under scrutiny. The Supreme Court’s Karachi Registry has tagged the case as a constitutional matter, directing its hearing before an Islamabad bench.
This legal tussle highlights escalating tensions between Sindh’s administrative offices. With the Supreme Court’s intervention, the outcome could set precedents for gubernatorial authority and procedural fairness in Pakistan’s provincial governance. Observers await whether the apex court will uphold or overturn the High Court’s contentious order.
