The Sindh High Court on Saturday sought an explanation from the OGRA and the federal government regarding hike in petroleum prices till September 24.

A division bench comprising SHC Justice Muneeb Akhter and Justice Ashraf Jahan heard the writ petition filed by Faizul Hassan. The petitioner prayed that current raise in prices of petroleum products was not only exploitation of the poor masses but also against the law and the constitution as it (hike in petroleum prices) is absolutely illegal and unconstitutional.

While accepting the petition, the court sought an explanation from the OGRA and the federal government till September 24.
