Sindh’s Board of Revenue faces allegations of selective disciplinary action after recommending the suspension of 20 out of 63 sub-registrars who reportedly declined new postings following promotion.
According to the report, Senior Member Board of Revenue Khalid Hyder Shah has submitted a summary seeking the suspensions to the Sindh chief minister. The recommendations have not been reported as approved.
Unnamed sources alleged that the remaining 43 officers were spared because of connections to influential political figures, including serving and former provincial ministers. These claims have not been independently verified.
The sources further alleged that the proposed action was intended to remove existing sub-registrars from Karachi and other major cities to accommodate favored, newly promoted officers.
They also claimed that some officers could receive key postings without completing the required six-month training, allegedly in exchange for payments. The report provided no documentary evidence supporting these accusations.
Of eight sanctioned inspector positions, five are reportedly occupied, leaving three vacancies.
Affected sub-registrars have rejected the proposed action and reportedly decided to challenge it in court. They contend that officers have the right to decline promotions and have questioned why only 20 were selected for suspension.
The report said Khalid Hyder Shah was contacted for comment but did not respond.
