2597/2026 Const. P. Ali Hassan (Petitioner) V/S Province of Sindh & others (Respondent) Sindh High Court
Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Zulfiqar Ali Sangi Order Date: 29-APR-26
In view of the above, this Court holds that the impugned order dated 10.04.2026 suffers from jurisdictional infirmity. The Election Officer re-adjudicated membership issues, which is the function of the competent authority under the cooperative law. The action is vitiated due to violation of principles of natural justice and constitutional guarantees under Articles 4 and 10-A; and the reasoning adopted by the Election Officer is legally unsustainable and based on misinterpretation of Section 24 of the Act, 2020. 14. Consequently, the impugned order is set aside, and the stance taken by the petitioner is upheld to the extent that his removal from the membership list and consequent disenfranchisement cannot be sustained in law. The respondents are directed to restore his status in accordance with law and proceed with the electoral process strictly in compliance with statutory provisions and principles of fairness, transparency, and due process. The petition along with pending application(s) stand disposed of in the above terms.
