The Sindh High Court has issued arrest warrants for the Managing Director (MD) of the Water Corporation for failing to comply with court orders. The court directed the relevant SSP to ensure the execution of the arrest warrant and to present the MD before the court at the next hearing. The court has issued bailable arrest warrants set at PKR 100,000, expressing frustration over the Water Corporation's repeated delays in addressing pending cases. “These cases have been unresolved for four years—why have these issues not been addressed yet?” the court questioned, criticizing the Water Corporation's handling of its legal obligations.

Following the court's order, Advocate General Sindh, Hassan Akbar, appeared before the court and requested additional time to submit a compliance report. The court granted the request and adjourned the hearing until September 16. The cases against the Water Corporation involve disputes over tariffs and unpaid dues, prompting the Sindh High Court to demand explanations from the Sindh government and the Water Corporation regarding the delays in resolving these matters.
