LAHORE: A petition has been filed in the Lahore High Court (LHC) to make sugar, wheat, and Independent Power Projects (IPP)s inquiry report public.
The petition was heard by Justice Sajid Mehmood Sethi. Acting on the plea, the LHC sought a report from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), the federal government and other concerned authorities till 18th June.
It is to be noted that FIA was asked to investigate the sugar subsidy issue and it had submitted a report, which was made public last month by Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Earlier this month, the federal government had decided to constitute an inter-ministerial committee to review the inquiry report over the sugar scandal.
The decision was taken in the federal cabinet meeting held under the chair of Prime Minister Imran Khan where he was briefed over recommendations for the future strategy and action by concerned institutions against the responsible persons after the emergence of the sugar inquiry report.
