SC fixes appeal against SHC verdict in sugar commission report

SC sugar inquiry commission report

ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court (SC) has fixed appeal of the federal government against invalidating sugar commission inquiry report for hearing, ARY News reported on Tuesday. 

The federal government had challenged Sindh High Court’s (SHC) decision of nullifying the report in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

A three-member bench of the SC will take up the plea on tomorrow.

The bench includes Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Gulzar Ahmed, Justice Mushir Alam and Justice Ijazul Ahsan.

On August 17, Sindh High Court (SHC) had nullified the sugar inquiry commission and its report and had ordered authorities concerned to conduct a fair inquiry into the matter.

A SHC division bench comprising Justice KK Agha and Justice Omar Sial had announced the reserved verdict on a petition filed by the Pakistan Sugar Mills Association (PSMA) against an inquiry commission formed by the government to probe into a sugar crisis that hit the country earlier this year.

The SHC declared report of Sugar Inquiry Commission null and void and also ordered National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to carry out an independent inquiry as per law.

The federal government had made public a report of the Sugar Inquiry Commission on May 30. The report was uploaded on the Press Information Department (PID) website.

According to the report, the sugar mill owners had inflicted losses on sugarcane growers consistently.

The commission had also found irregularities in advance payments to farmers in the form of cash or commodity, which is tantamount to unregulated banking, whereas, the mill owners hurt farmers by indulging in informal banking and earned a profit of up to 35 per cent.

اسلام آباد(مانیٹرنگ ڈیسک)بھٹو اور شریفوں کے درمیان باہمی اعتماد کے فقدان کی 1970 کی دہائی سے ایک تاریخ ہے۔ انہوں نے بداعتمادی کو ختم کرکے اعتماد سازی کیلئے اکثر کوششیں بھی کیں لیکن زخم اس قدر گہرے ہیں کہ انہیں مندمل کرنا آسان نہ ہو گا۔ اسی چیز نے پنجاب اور سندھ میں ان کے کارکنوں کے درمیان خلیج حائل کردی ہے۔روزنامہ جنگ میں مظہر عباسی لکھتے ہیں کہ نئی قیادت کو نئی سیاسی حکمت عملی کے ساتھ سامنے آنے کے بجائے وہی نفرتیں اور سیاسی عدم اعتمادی آئندہ نسل میں منتقل کی جا رہی ہے۔ مریم نواز اور بلاول بھٹو زرداری بھی اسی ڈگر پر چل پڑے ہیں۔ ان رویوں نے ملک میں سیاسی و جمہوری عمل کو شدید نقصان پہنچایا ہے۔ لیکن اس بات سے طاقتور حلقوں کو سیاسی نظام میں دخل اندازی اور ایک دوسرے کو لڑانے کا موقع مل گیا۔ چونکہ آج بھی معاملات نواز شریف اور آصف علی زرداری کے قابو میں ہیں لہذا مریم اور بلاول بھی ماضی کی سیاست کے ہی یرغمال ہیں۔انہیں اس ماضی سے نکلنے میں دشواری کا سامنا ہے۔ اپنے بزرگوں کے اختیار کردہ موقف اور راستے سے انحراف ان دونوں کے لئے آسان نہیں ہے۔ پی ڈی ایم کے سربراہ اجلاس میں یہی کچھ ہوا جب مسلم لیگ ...
