ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court directed the authorities to maintain current CNG price.


A two-member bench of the apex court comprising Justice Jawwad S. Khwaja and Justice Khilji Arif Hussain resumed the hearing over the case regarding the pricing formula for CNG.

 

After hearing the arguments, the court ignored the request filed by Advocate Waseem Sajjad, the counsel for Sindh CNG Association, to withdraw its order regarding fresh CNG pricing.
