ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The federal government on Tuesday challenged the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) decision to give interim relief to the sugar mills’ owners in sugar prices in the Supreme Court (SC), reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
In its petition, the government prayed to the court to declare the LHC verdict dated August 3 as null and void, arguing the decision pronounced by a single bench of the court could not be maintained.
It further argued that the Lahore High Court had determined the sugar price under the Price and Control Act, which it was not authorized to do.
