Dr Aamir made Sindh Government and its departments' respondents in the petition by praying the court to issue orders for the reversal of the decision to create new district Keamari in Karachi Division. He requested that the decision should be declared null and void as it is against the law.

According to the petition, the new district only serves to give a political advantage to the Pakistan Peoples Party, which is ruling in Sindh.
