Sindh High Court Issues Notices on KU Student Union Elections

The Sindh High Court (SHC) has issued notices to the chief secretary and other relevant authorities regarding a petition seeking student union elections at the University of Karachi (KU). The petition was filed with the court, prompting the issuance of notices for further action.

The petitioner highlighted that the University of Karachi Act, 1972 includes provisions for student unions, yet the university has not established any regulations or procedures for conducting elections despite the law being enacted four years ago.

The petitioners have requested the court to direct the respondents to finalize the Sindh Students Union Rules, submit them to the provincial cabinet within 30 days, and publish them in the official gazette.
