Azhar Siddique, the chairman of the Judicial Activism Panel, filed a plea at the LHC citing the increase in petrol prices. In his motion, Siddique said that the recent increase in fuel prices will cause a storm of inflation and sought the court to overturn the decision to raise fuel prices.

The petition opposing the recent increase in petroleum product prices was considered by LHC Judge Shahid Karim.

Following an initial hearing, the official respondents received letters from the court requesting that they submit their answers to the petition.

The government raised the price of gasoline by Rs9.66 per litre on Sunday, March 31, but reduced the cost of high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs3.32 per litre.

According to the most recent statement, the price of a litre of gasoline has climbed from Rs279.75 to Rs289.41, and the rate of high-speed diesel (HSD) has decreased from Rs278.92 to Rs282.24.

In a statement, the Finance Ministry stated that the adjustments were brought about by a commensurate increase in the price of gasoline and a decline in the price of HSD on the global market.
