LHC allows growers to sell crops to other provinces
Verdict says sugar mills have no right to weaken farmers financially
ISLAMABAD:
The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday allowed the sugarcane growers to sell their produce to other provinces.
Justice Jawad Hassan announced the verdict on a petition filed by a sugar mill owner challenging the Punjab cane commissioner’s decision regarding lifting of inter-provincial ban on sugarcane export to other provinces.
The court, while upholding the move to sell sugarcane to other provinces, said that farmers have constitutional rights to sell sugarcane wherever they want.
“Sugar mills have no right to weaken the farmer financially,” according to the verdict.
