A petition against the recent increase in petroleum prices was submitted to the LHC.

The Lahore High Court has heard a challenge to the recent price rise of fuel products.

The plea submitted to the court claims that although diesel prices have increased by Rs5.16 per litre, petrol prices have increased by Rs8 per litre.

The increase in petroleum prices, according to the petitioner, is unlawful and an anti-public policy that burdens the populace further.

According to the request, the government is not setting petroleum prices in line with global market trends.

Diesel prices have increased by Rs5.16 and petrol by Rs8 per liter.

It also argued that the nation is already struggling with unemployment and inflation, and that the most recent increase will lead to additional price increases, making the public’s financial problems worse.

The petitioner has asked the court to rule that the recent announcement about the price rise of petroleum products is invalid.
