Sugar Price : Court orders fresh meeting
A division bench, headed by Chief Justice Maqbool Baqar, is hearing a petition filed by sugar mill owners
KARACHI:
The Sindh High Court (SHC) directed the Sindh government to hold a fresh meeting of all relevant parties including sugar mills associations, Sindh Chamber of Agriculture and Sindh Abadgar Board to fix the price of sugar. A division bench, headed by Chief Justice Maqbool Baqar, is hearing a petition filed by sugar mill owners, who questioned the notification issued by the Sindh government, which fixed sugarcane price at Rs182 per 40 kilogrammes. Counsel for the petitioners had submitted that his clients had filed a petition seeking its directions for the federal and provincial government to devise an effective mechanism to fix sugar price. He recalled that the court had directed the Sindh chief secretary to convene a meeting on November 29 with all stakeholders to finalise the price.
