The Sindh High Court issued notices to the parties in Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan s plea against the carving out of a seventh district - Keamari - in the metropolis on Monday.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf MNA Aamir Liaquat also filed a similar petition before the high court.
The petitioners maintained in their pleas that the establishment of Keamari district and a related district municipal corporation was illegal.
They argued that a population census was not carried out in the area before changing its status to a district, adding that a public hearing to solicit public opinion on dissolving or creating a council is a requirement before establishing a district according to revenue rules.
