SHC Suspends Removal of K-Electric CEO Alvi

Karachi, August 1, 2025, 08:47 PM PKT — The Sindh High Court has delivered a dramatic reprieve, suspending the Sindh Ombudsman’s order to remove Moonis Alvi, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of K-Electric, from his post over a workplace harassment case, granting interim relief as Alvi challenges the ruling, claiming it misaligns with facts, per official reports. Legal proceedings continue, with the next hearing pending. The Ombudsman, under the Protection Against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act, had imposed a Rs2.5 million fine and ordered Alvi’s removal after investigating a harassment complaint.

In a Thursday statement, Alvi called the decision “deeply distressing”, insisting the findings distort his experience, while affirming his commitment to integrity, dignity, and safe workplaces, despite the personal and professional toll. He is reviewing the verdict with legal counsel and plans to appeal, vowing to uncover the truth through due process, thanking supporters and upholding justice. Web context on similar cases shows jurisdictional disputes, while posts found on X reflect divided sentiment—some support Alvi’s defense, others question accountability. Critically, the narrative of “interim relief” may mask legal uncertainties—web data hints at past inconsistencies, and X sentiment suggests distrust in fair resolution, pointing to ongoing tensions.
