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 .
LAHORE: People from various walks of life have rejected the around Rs2 per unit increase in the electricity tariff, urging the government to immediately withdraw the decision.
They said the hike in power tariff may jack up prices of almost all other products and commodities.
“Prime Minister Imran Khan, while in the opposition, had called the then rulers robbers and looters for raising power tariff or petrol prices. By that logic, we believe that the current rulers are also plunderers since they have hiked the power tariff. They also continue to increase petrol prices,” All Pakistan Anjuman Tajiran General Secretary Naeem Mir said.
