LAHORE: The Lahore High Court has extended stay on 14 per cent increase in gas tariff and sought reply from Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra).
A lawyer-petitioner Shahid Ikram filed the petition and pointed out that the increase in the gas tariff was a burden on the general public. He stated that the Ogra did not meet legal requirements before issuing the impugned notification.
The petitioner said that the law required the Ogra violated a mandatory public hearing before increasing the tariff. He said the act of the authority was unlawful and liable to be set aside.
