KARACHI: The Sindh High Court has allowed two special customs reference applications (SCRAs) filed by Oil & Gas Private Ltd in oil tankers’ detention case.
The SCRAs were allowed by a SHC appellate bench comprising Justice Munib Akhtar and Justice Mrs Ashraf Jahan.
The petitioner challenged the detention of oil tankers by Anti-Smuggling Organisation (ASO) which maintained that flash point of oil imported legally is above 60 while of smuggled is lower than that. The bench during hearing pointed out that as per new notification of the ministry concerned, the flash point determined at 54 and hence detaining the same is illegal.
