The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Friday suspended two notifications about increase in the gas tariff for the industries, as it took up the petitions from more than 400 industries, pertaining to the retrospective application of the notifications.
The lawyers for the petitioners told the court that the Oil and Gas regulatory Authority (OGRA) issued a notification of tariff hike on November 15, 2023, but the increased rate was applied from November 1, 2023.
They added that another notification was issued on February 8 and the new tariff was charged from February 1, 2024. They said that charging additional amount before the notification was illegal. The SHC suspended the notifications, saying that the recovery would be made when the notification was issued.
