SC orders JJV to submit 75% LPG sale to State

The Supreme Court (SC) ordered the management of Jamshoro Joint Venture to deposit 75 percent of LPG sales revenue in the national exchequer. The three-member bench of SC recommenced the hearing of the LPG case on Thursday under Chief Justice (CJ) Iftikhar Chaudhary. During proceedings, the CJ said national wealth was going to waste and no one will be allowed to plunder it. From now, rule of law will prevail in the country, he added. He said the government did not submit any reply in the court regarding the case for the last three years but the court knows well how to use its authority. The applicant, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) leader Khawaja Asif said in his arguments that a political party was given hefty funds of Rs 500 million, but following an audit, no irregularity was found. The court ordered that the company use experts to get its sales record audited.
