PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC) adjourned hearing in the writ petitions against the Reforms Act 2015 in the teaching hospitals of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa till Thursday.
The lawyers for the doctors argued before the bench headed by PHC Chief Justice Mazhar Alam Miankhel. They said the Act would turn the government hospitals into commercial centres. They added that such experiments had already failed in the past. The court adjourned hearing in the case till today.
A division bench of the PHC stopped the arrest of the owners of CNG stations for non-payment. The owners of the CNG stations told the court that Kohat Municipal Committee had imposed a new tax in 2011, which was increased to Rs50,000 in 2015.
The lawyers said the Anti-Corruption Department and the municipal committee were harassing the owners. The court, after hearing arguments, stopped the arrest of the owners and allowed the judicial magistrates to hear the cases but not give verdicts.
