Petition states discontinuation of discount on bills over 200 units a violation of fundamental right
LAHORE – The Lahore High Court has sought a response from Nepra on a petition brought against the exorbitant increase in electricity bills for consumers using more than 200 units, based on protective and non-protective tariffs.
Justice Rasaal Hasan Syed of the Lahore High Court presided over the proceedings, during which advocate Azhar Siddique argued on behalf of the petitioner. The lawyer pleaded for the declaration of Nepra's exploitative policy as unconstitutional and its nullification, arguing that instead of preventing electricity theft, common consumers had been burdened with the entire loss incurred due to power pilferage.The petitioner's counsel contended that the discontinuation of discounts on bills exceeding 200 units for ordinary consumers constituted a violation of fundamental rights.
After hearing the arguments, Justice Syed remarked that the court needed to be informed about the basis for the increase in electricity prices.Asad Umar says he currently has no intention of returning to politicsAyub denounces federal budget as 'economic terrorism against Pakistanis'Kenyans hold concert to remember those killed in protests
