KARACHI: A decade-old commercial transaction involving the reported sale of black scorpions to a German company has become the subject of a major banking dispute before the Sindh High Court, where four Pakistani claimants are seeking access to funds they say were never delivered to their accounts.
Documents cited by Minute Mirror indicate that the dispute concerns a transaction dated December 9, 2014 involving a German firm identified as SAT IN LLC. The petitioners claim that the money was intended to reach Pakistan through formal banking channels but remains unresolved.
The matter is pending before the Constitutional Bench in Constitutional Petition No. D-4980 of 2026. The court has not yet ruled on the underlying claims.
According to the order sheet dated September 9, 2026 the petition was filed by Juma Khan Muhammad Siddique, Allah Razi and Riaz Ahmed residents of Quetta. They are represented through a special attorney Muhammad Arif Jamaldini.
Their counsel Advocate Sajid Mahboob told the court that the dispute originated from an international commercial arrangement involving the supply of black scorpions under an agreement signed by Pakistani representatives and a manager of the German company.
The court initially issued notices to the respondents. At the October 13 hearing representatives of the State Bank of Pakistan and private banks requested additional time to submit their replies. The bench granted them a further month.
