PESHAWAR: A division bench of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) has stopped Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPRA) from claiming liabilities from Souvenir Tobacco Company Limited till further orders.
The PHC bench comprising Justice Syed Arshad Ali and Justice Naeem Anwar issued notices to the Advocate General, KPRA director-general and KP chief secretary to submit their comments.
The counsel for the petitioner Qazi Ghulam Dastagir argued that the point of origination of the company was outside Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, therefore the authority had no jurisdiction to term the company as a withholding agent.
