According to details, a two-member bench headed by Justice Shahid Karim of Lahore High Court gave a pre-emptive verdict on the petition related to fixing the price of sugar.
The court declared invalid the notification of Federal Secretary Controller General Price to fix the price of sugar and ordered that the Punjab government will fix the price of sugar in the province.
