KARACHI: The Sindh government finally surrendered to Supreme Court's order and Pakistan engineering Council's (PEC) contention against employing B-tech and diploma holders on the engineering positions.
The government hitherto kept procrastinating compliance of the October 3, 2018, Supreme Court order for removing of diploma and B-tech holders from top positions of engineering, reportedly dozens of non-qualified engineers remained posted on BPS-19 and BPS-18 positions.
The Sindh Services, General, Administration and Coordination Department on January 8, 2020 directed the provincial secretaries of works and services, local government, public health engineering, agriculture, irrigation and other Sindh government departments to ensure prompt compliance.Order further narrated that Sindh government shall not allow or permit any person to perform professional engineering work as defined in the PEC Act, who does not possess accredited engineering qualification from the accredited engineering institution and his name is not registered as registered engineer or professional engineer under the PEC Act," the order's operative para read in the petition of Moula Bux Shaikh and others versus Sindh chief minister and others. The government directives were issued after the Supreme Court’s assistant registrar wrote to the provincial government for the compliance after a legal firm Rasheed A Razvi and Associates on behalf of the petitioners complained to the court.
