A division bench of Sindh High Court (SHC) on Tuesday issued a notice to Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) in a contempt of court application.

The application, moved by All Pakistan CNG Association (APCNGA), Sindh Chapter, argued that the SHC orders dated December 12, 2010 and January 1, 2011 in identical petitions against loadshedding of sui gas in Sindh had been flouted by the respondents including Managing Director and Deputy Managing Director of SSGC by issuing gas management plan for CNG Stations in Sindh which will be implemented from December 29.

The bench comprising Chief Justice Mushir Alam and Justice Ahmed Ali Sheikh after hearing the application ordered issuance of notice to SSGC.

It may be mentioned here that stakeholders including APCNGA and CNG stations owners association had challenged the sui gas management plan in SHC.
