Which areas have been declared as hard areas, Justice Sheikh asked. “Ghora Bari, Thanu Bula Khan, Kharo Chaan and other areas have been declared hard areas,” Leghari replied to the top judge.
Thanu Bula Khan is in Jamshoro district, how can you declare it as a hard area, where three big universities of Pakistan are situated, remarked the SHC CJ.
SHC judge stopped further recruitment of the teachers in the province under the current policy and remarked “You are doing this for political gain only.”
The further hearing on the case has been adjourned until the third week of August.
