Lahore High Court (LHC) Justice Umar Ata Bandial on Monday issued notice to the federal government for May 16 on a petition challenging unscheduled load shedding. Imtiaz Rashid Qureshi of the Save Judiciary Committee, through his counsel Mateenul Haq Chaudhry, filed the petition clubbing it with another petition against power outages and an increase in electricity tariff.
