The Lahore High Court on Thursday issued notice to Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) for December 18 on an application against change in the prices of LPG.
The single bench comprising Justice Ijaz ul Ahsan passed the orders on a civil miscellaneous application filed by Petroleum Gas Company and three others in a pending matter against LPG Policy 2012.
Earlier, the petitioner’s counsel submitted that the respondent’s council had told the court on November 26 during the hearing of the case against LPG Policy 2012 that OGRA did not intend to make any changes in the prices of LPG However, OGRA had violated its commitment and had issued a notification on December 8 for reduction of LPG prices, the counsel added. He said the step was taken without consulting the marketing companies and it amounted to civil contempt, also praying to the court to set the said notification aside. The court then issued a notice to OGRA for December 18.
