Regarding the increase in the cost of gasoline and diesel, the Lahore High Court (LHC) has asked the federal government for a statement.
Hearing the application from the Judicial Activism Panel was Justice Shahid Karim of LHC.
During the case hearing, arguments were made by petitioner Azhar Sidddique.
The petitioner’s attorney claimed that the general public was no longer able to obtain gasoline or power. Inflation has been made worse by the increase in gas costs, he continued.
According to the applicant, there was no justification provided by the government for raising the price of petroleum.
The rise in petroleum products was carried out at prices that were in line with the world market, according to the Assistant Advocate General.
The federal government’s approach for fixing gasoline prices was questioned by the court, which also ordered clarification of the process.
The federal government’s response to the court’s request to postpone the case hearing on the rise in petroleum prices was obtained.
