LAHORE:
The Lahore High Court (LHC) imposed a fine of Rs500,000 on Thursday on a petitioner for filing an 'unnecessary petition'.
A written order in this regard was issued by Justice Faisal Zaman Khan on the petition of Shahzana Kazmi, who had challenged fixing prices of various items in decimals.
The written order maintained that the petitioner was not an aggrieved party nor did they inform of a violation of fundamental human rights.
The decision further read that such unnecessary requests can lead to 'chaos in institutions'.
