LHC rejected intra-court appeal by Punjab government against issuing NOC to Ramzan Sugar Mills

Lahore: (Staff Reporter) The Lahore High Court (LHC) rejected intra-court appeal by the Punjab government against single-bench’s order of issuing NOC to Sharif family-owned Ramzan Sugar Mills. The two-member bench headed by Justice Muhammad Iqbal rejected the petition as not maintainable. On Monday, the LHC rejected a petition seeking court’s intervention to operationalize the Ramzan Sugar Mills immediately.

According to the source, the high court summoned the Excise and Taxation director general in personal capacity over non-issuance of NOC to the Ramzan Sugar Mills despite the court order. The petitioner’s lawyer said his client was registered with the SECP and fulfilled all the conditions for obtaining the NOC, but the certificate was not being issued on political grounds.
