The Sindh High Court (SHC) issued notices to the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), the Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority (PNRA) to submit their replies on an application of two interveners seeking to join the proceedings against the establishment of nuclear power plants in Karachi.
A division bench was hearing a petition that had challenged the Sindh Environmental Protection Agency's report that approved the establishment of the two nuclear power plants. On Wednesday, Amina Jilani and Roland De Souza, requested the court to allow them to join the proceedings. The petitioner’s lawyer requested for time to seek instructions from his clients on the counter-affidavit filed by Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) on the last hearing.
