The IHC bench, comprising Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Miangul Hasan Aurangzeb, heard the matter and reserved the decision after hearing both sides in the case.
As the proceedings resumed, counsels submitted records on the matter and presented arguments. The bench after hearing the arguments reserved decision. M/s Wateen Telecom Limited had prayed the court that the FBR office had issued a recovery notice to the company which did not hold lawful grounds.
The appellant had prayed the court to declare the act as illegal and without any lawful authority and an interim stay may be granted against recovery proceedings.
M/s Wateen Telecom Limited had also prayed the court to decide the case early as the appellant had to bear financial complications after the case.
M/s Wateen Telecom Limited had also mentioned that departmental obligations were not met amid processing the notice of recovery demand while later the adjudication did not addressed grievances.
