The respondents have established a committee, including representatives from the Local Government & HTP Department and the Secretary of HDA, to examine the cases of former HDA contract, work-charge, and daily wage employees, in light of a Supreme Court order from November 29, 2023, and the Sindh Regularization Act of 2013. While the petitioners request a resolution of their petition per the Supreme Court's directive, the learned Assistant Advocate General (AAG) submitted that their case does not fall within the scope of that Supreme Court decision and thus cannot be decided on those terms, praying for the dismissal of the petition. Regardless, let this matter first be referred to the Secretary of the Local Government Department to scrutinize the petitioners' case. If their case falls outside the purview of the newly formed committee, the petitioners must be granted a hearing, and a decision should be reached within three months.
