Islamabad (HRNW) The federal government will continue to investigate oil companies for their alleged involvement in the country-wide fuel shortage after the Islamabad High Court dismissed on Friday their petition to stop the investigation.
The verdict was reserved on Thursday on the petition filed by two oil companies. They said that the inquiry should be stopped as they were being politically victimized.
In an 11-page verdict, the court said it was shocking that there was a crisis in the country even though the oil prices were decreasing globally. People’s constitutional rights were affected because of this shortage. The government is responsible for investigating it, it ruled.
It also said that there is nothing illegal about the committee investigating the crisis.
