Sindh Revenue Board Faces Questions Over Proposed Action Against 20 Officers

The Sindh Board of Revenue is under scrutiny for its proposed action against 20 out of 63 sub-registrars who reportedly refused new postings after receiving promotions. According to the report, Senior Member of the Board Khalid Hyder Shah has submitted a summary to the Sindh chief minister requesting the suspensions. However, the recommendation has not been officially approved.

Unidentified sources have accused the remaining 43 officers of being spared due to their connections with influential political figures, including both current and former provincial ministers. These claims have not been independently verified. The sources further allege that the proposed action aims to clear Karachi and other major cities of existing sub-registrars to make way for newly promoted officers who are favored.

They also claim that some officers may receive important postings without fulfilling the mandatory six-month training period, in exchange for monetary payments. The report provides no concrete evidence to back these allegations.

Of the eight sanctioned inspector positions, five are already filled, leaving three vacancies. The affected sub-registrars have refused to accept the proposed action and have decided to contest it in court. They argue that officers have the right to decline promotions and question why only 20 were chosen for suspension. The report states that Khalid Hyder Shah was contacted for comment but did not respond.
