The attorney general and Sindh advocate general have been summoned to the court on the date of the hearing.
The ordinance was challenged in the apex court on September 8 by Syed Iqbal Kazmi, a member of Karachi City Alliance.
The local government ordinance passed by the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in collaboration with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) faced vast criticism from several political and religious parties of the country.
Nationalist parties in Sindh, terming the ordinance a conspiracy to break the province, have also held several protests.

So now SC can undo anything passed in the assemblies (and that too by ABSOLUTE majority)? I think we should re-title Chief Justice as Chief Executive
Who is Syed Iqbal Kazmi ?
@DevilHunterX:
Yeah ! Very true...anything that will be in interest of public in general is opposed by the politicians, otherwise local govt has to be formed by the govt through election as per constitution as soon as govt was formed, but 4.5 years on it is yet a dream...so what democracy are we talking about ?
