The Sindh High Court (SHC) issued contempt-of-court notices to Karachi American School (KAS) President Ali Dosa, Superintendent Dr Peter Pelosi and Manager Erna Farooqi on Wednesday for repeatedly refusing to produce the documents sought by the court.
The court has announced the next hearing of the case on January 12, 2012.
The contempt proceedings were initiated on the application of the plaintiff Shahida Hussain, a former teacher of the KAS, after the defendants failed to submit required documents despite the court’s repeated orders.
Their failure to submit the documents violates the court’s orders issued on April 21 and August 19, 2011.
The former teacher had filed a case for injunction and recovery of damages with profits and costs.
Senior advocates Iqbal Haider, Malik Ejaz and Ameer Haider appeared before the court, representing the plaintiff, and submitted their arguments, in the matter.
In the contempt application, the plaintiff under Article 204 of the constitution and Sections 3 and 5 of the Contempt of Court Ordinance 2003 maintained that the management of the Karachi American School deliberately ignored to produce all of the crucial documents ordered by the SHC.
