    Sindh Governor denies relief to K-Electric CEO Moonis Alvi

    KARACHI: Sindh Governor Kamran Khan Tessori on Tuesday denied interim relief to K-Electric CEO Moonis Alvi in a workplace harassment case.

    According to a press release issued, the Sindh Governor has scheduled a full hearing for the case Moonis Alvi v Mahreen Aziz Khan on August 11, 2025 (Monday).

    No Decision, Only Adjournment, says Lawyer Ayaan Memon

    Meanwhile, according to a statement issued by Ayaan Memon, who represented Moonis Alvi at the hearing at the Governor House today, “Complainant’s counsel requested for adjournment on account of not having complete file of representation. Due to this request hearing has been adjourned to a later date.”

    On July 31, 2025, the Provincial Ombudsman of Sindh, Justice (R) Shah Nawaz Tariq, ordered the removal of K-Electric CEO Moonis Alvi from his position and imposed a fine of Rs 2.5 million after harassment allegations against him were proven.

    In a significant development, the Sindh Governor House has declined to grant an interim stay on the Ombudsman’s decision against Moonis Abdullah Alvi, CEO of K-Electric, who was found guilty of workplace harassment and fined Rs 2.5 million.

    Moonis Alvi had urgently requested a suspension of the decision. However, the Governor’s office, in the interest of justice and due process, has instead scheduled a full hearing for Monday, August 11, where both parties will be given an opportunity to present their case.

    Meanwhile, the legal team representing the complainant, Mahreen Aziz Khan, welcomed the Governor’s commitment to due process, stating that “justice must not only be done, but must also be seen to be done.”

    KARACHI: The Sindh High Court has suspended the implementation of the ombudsman’s decision against Moonis Alvi, CEO of K-Electric, ARY News reported.

    According to reports, the court issued notices to the concerned parties, seeking their responses within a week

    The court also directed Moonis Alvi to deposit a penalty of Rs 2.5 million, while hearing the petition challenging the jurisdiction of the Provincial Ombudsman for Protection Against Harassment.

    Representing Moonis Alvi, Barrister Abid Zuberi argued that the case does not fall under the provincial ombudsman’s jurisdiction.

    He stated that K-Electric operates in multiple regions including Hub and Windar, making it an inter-provincial entity governed by federal laws rather than provincial legislation.

    The case will now proceed after submissions from all parties are received, as the court continues to examine the legal scope of the ombudsman’s authority in this matter.
