Chief Justice Lahore High Court (LHC) Umar Ata Bandial said that protests against load shedding are justified.
He made these remarks while hearing the loadshedding case in LHC. He said residents in Lahore faced upto 18 hours of load shedding along with water shortages and had no other option but to go protest.
He further said that government officials sitting in air conditioned rooms had no idea about the plight of common man.
The court summoned the load shedding schedule of previous six months and proof of steps taken to inform public about the load shedding.
