The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered Peshawar Electricity Supply Company (Pesco) to collect Rs17 billion in fuel adjustment charge (FAC) from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) consumers’ within ten months.
A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Tassaduq Hussain Jillani, suspended an earlier judgment of the Peshawar High Court (PHC), wherein FAC in the monthly electricity bills of K-P consumers were declared illegal and without lawful authority.
The bench also issued a notice to the Attorney General for Pakistan (AGP) and adjourned the hearing for an indefinite period.
