ISLAMABAD: Punjab government has filed a petition in the Supreme Court (SC) to fix uniform sugar rates across the country and the higher judiciary issued notices Sunday to the three other provinces. The petition reads that the sugar rate fixed for Punjab at Rs40/kg is lower than the rates fixed in the other three provinces, which may likely result in smuggling of the commodity to other provinces. A three member bench headed by the Chief Justice (CJ) heard the petition today. The SC adjourned the case until October 1st.
