In a to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), KE said the suspension followed an appeal hearing held on December 19, 2025, against the impugned order in Civil Suit No. 111 of 2023 filed by the company against Syed Asad Ali Shah.

According to the disclosure, the appellate court restored the stay order until the next date of hearing, restraining the defendant from harassing K-Electric.

KE said it had approached the District Court after being aggrieved by the civil court’s December 2 order.
