Hydrant Auction Plan Ordered in 30 Days

A constitutional bench of the Sindh High Court dealt with a petition seeking fresh tenders for hydrant contracts after their previous agreements expired. The court directed the water corporation to formulate a new auction plan within two months.

During the hearing, the petitioner’s counsel argued that transparency and fair competition were being violated by not issuing new tenders despite expired contracts. He contended that continuing hydrant operations under such circumstances was against public interest and undermined governance and accountability.

The government lawyer countered that the petition was based on assumptions. He maintained that the original hydrant contracts had been awarded through a transparent and competitive bidding process, which had not been challenged at the appropriate time.
