Subject: COMPLIANCE/ PROGRESS REPORT OF ORDER DATED 19.09.2024, PASSED IN CONSTITUTIONAL PETITION NO.D-1734 OF 2020 & D-4279 OF 2024 AND JUDGMENT DATED 07.10.2021, PASSED IN CP NO.D-6712 OF 2020 (PLC 2023 186)
I am directed to refer to the subject noted above and to forward herewith a copy of order hood 19.09.2024 passed by the Honourable High Court of Sindh, Karachi alongwith a copy of letter dated 03.10.2024 of Additional MIT-II, High Coon of Sindh. Karachi incorporating directions of the Honourable Court in paragraph No.4 of the enclosed order which is reproduced hereunder: –
“4, The Chairman SESSI shall also submit a district-wise list of workers registered with SESSI. Moreover, it is pertinent to mention that every worker, whether in any sector or home-based / industries, is required to be registered with SESSI. Apparently, the number of registered workers with SESSI (sevben lakh) is showing that the department has failed to perform its duty and comply with the above-referred judgment. Hence, there shall be a serious campaign by the department, with the help of Deputy Commissioners, to establish camps at the taluka level and noon headquarters to provide information for registration as well as establish registration desk for a week on a quarterly basis, enabling workers to get registered. Furthermore, Labour Department Government of Sindh shall issue a notification regarding the establishment of camps covering the entire Sindh as a range for the registration of workers. As the law provides that home-based workers are also in the same category, therefore, there is no cap over the maximum or minimum numbers, and every individual is to be registered and benefited. Besides, SESSI Act provides for the establishment of a trust; hence, the Chairman shall submit details whether such trust has been established under the relevant laws. In case of non-establishment, the same shall be established within two months.”
I am further directed to request to take necessary action in the matter and comprehensive progress report be submitted to the Honourable Court in accordance with their directions.
