The Lahore High Court (LHC) sought the reasons behind the removal of Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO)’s chief executive on Monday.
LHC Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial heard the case pertaining to load shedding, during which the petitioner’s counsel informed the court that load shedding is being carried out during sehr and iftar timings despite the government’s assurances to the contrary.
The counsel added that LESCO’s chief executive was removed from his post without any reason.
In response, the court directed the government’s counsel to inform the court of measures taken to end load shedding, and to submit a report on electricity theft from power distribution companies. The deputy attorney general told the LHC that the situation has improved thanks to the pleasant weather. The case hearing was adjourned until July 26.
