Increase in petroleum prices challenged in LHC

Lahore: The move to increase the prices of petroleum products in Pakistan has been challenged in the Lahore High Court (LHC).

Advocate Azhar Siddique filed a petition against increasing the prices of petroleum products in the Lahore High Court on behalf of the Judicial Activism Panel.

In the petition, the position has been taken that the prices of petroleum products have decreased at the international level but have increased in Pakistan. The increase in the prices of petroleum products before Eid-ul-Fitr will bring a storm of inflation.

The petition filed by Advocate Azhar Siddique stated that he requests LHC to prevent the implementation of the increase in the prices of petroleum products.
