PAKISTAN
K-Electric Limited (KEL) has informed KSX that the Governor of Sindh has set aside the order previously issued by the Provincial Ombudsman, Sindh, against the company’s Chief Executive Officer in a harassment complaint case.
The development follows K-Electric’s earlier disclosure dated August 1, 2025, regarding an order passed by the Provincial Ombudsman on July 31, 2025, in a complaint filed by a former employee under the Protection against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act, 2010. The complaint had been lodged against two employees and a former director of K-Electric.
Subsequently, the CEO had approached the Sindh High Court (SHC) through a constitutional petition, upon which the court had suspended the operation of the Ombudsman’s order. The CEO had also filed a representation (appeal) before the Governor of Sindh, the designated appellate authority under the law.
According to K-Electric, the Governor of Sindh, exercising powers under Section 9 of the Act, heard the parties and reviewed the relevant record before issuing the decision to set aside the Ombudsman’s July 31, 2025 order. – ER News Desk
