LHC seeks reply from federal govt

RECORDER REPORT

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court here Wednesday sought reply from the federal government in a petition against load shedding.

The petitioner Chairman Judicial Activism Panel Azhar Siddique contended that load shedding during the holy month of Ramazan had exposed the government's claims of providing uninterrupted electricity supply to the cities. He said the load shedding has made the life difficult and performance of every public and private institution had come to halt. He asked the court to direct the government to overcome the load shedding.

The court after hearing the petitioner Azhar Siddique Advocate at length issued notices to the federal government.
