Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author) Order Date: 28-AUG-25
After thorough arguments from both sides, this court directs the respondents' competent authority to examine the petitioners' cases. This examination should determine if the petitioners and their colleagues, who performed comparable duties in wards/labs, emergency rooms, trauma centers, or their offices, are eligible for the Health Professional and Special Health Care Allowance, or any related allowances, according to existing laws and policies. Those who do not meet the legal requirements will be excluded. This review is to be completed within three months of this order. However, its implementation is contingent upon policy decisions by the Sindh government and the respondent Hospital. If the KMC/Hospital adopts such a policy, or has adopted it, the allowances may be granted. If the KMC/Hospital disagrees with the petitioners' claims after consultation with the Sindh Government, it must issue a reasoned order after providing the petitioners with a hearing. 9. Consequently, the petition and related applications are disposed of as directed.
