LAHORE: A division bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) here on Thursday disposed of various identical writ petitions filed by Indus Sugar Mills and others as notification pertaining to fixation of minimum sugar cane price at 100 per 40Kg was not implemented. The petitioners had challenged government's Sugar Policy 2009- 2010 declaring that all sugar mills in Punjab shall pay a minimum price of sugar cane according to the sucrose content of the sugar cane subject to minimum of price of Rs 100 per 40kg after December 13, 2009. The petitioners' counsel barrister Syed Ali Zafar contended before the court that it was necessary for the Punjab government to put in place mechanism and systems for determination of sucrose content. He said because the government had not done so, the notification could not be implemented. Furthermore, it was not possible to implement the notification as the sugar canes' sucrose content could only be confirmed at the end of production season. The court required the Advocate General Punjab and Deputy Attorney General to confirm if the government has fulfilled the requirements of the notification. The Advocate General Punjab on Thursday confirmed that the government had not yet fulfilled the requirements of the notification and it seems that the government was not going to implement the notification. The bench, therefore, disposed of the petitions as the notification was not to be implemented.
