The Islamabad High Court was informed on Thursday that the Petroleum Ministry was satisfied with the two-day closure of CNG sale instead of three days. The ministry submitted its response in a case being heard by Justice Riaz Ahmed Khan. Petitioner has moved the court against the three-day closure of the CNG stations.
The counsel for the CNG stations, Makhdoom Ali Khan, said his clients had asked the ministry to stop CNG sale for two days as part of an out-of-court settlement of the issue. However, both the parties could not plead their case and sought adjournment. The ministry submitted that in the out-of-court settlement it was decided that besides the two-day CNG closure, the CNG sale would also be suspended for three hours daily, which was unacceptable for the other party. Upon that, Justice Khan observed that the previous verdict of the same court was misinterpreted and adjourned the hearing until today (Friday).
