His counsel Nafees Sidduqi contended that bifurcation was taken on political consideration and it was not in public interest.
It was contended respondents failed to consult the matter with petitioner in respect of bifurcation of the Larkana and the respondent's notification affected the right of representatives of the area.
He mentioned that people expressed their extreme resentment over the bifurcation and protested over government's decision stating it caused law and order situation in the area and four or five people were killed during protest.
Naming Chief Minister Sindh, Chief Secretary and Minister of Revenue and Political Affairs as respondents the court was prayed to declare division of Larkana is repugnant to principles of natural justice, arbitrary and unlawful and respondents be restricted from enforcing bifurcation of Larkana and notification be withdrawn forthwith.
SHC's division bench comprising Justice Wahid Bux Brohi and Justice Mushir Alam after preliminary hearing of the petition observed some important point of facts and law are involved in petition and issued notice to respondents for January 4, 2005.
