LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) issued on Thursday notices to the authorities concerned to file comments on a petition challenging ban on import of vehicles.
The petitioner stated before the court that prices of vehicles have skyrocketed, due to which purchasing a car is becoming a pipe dream for a common man. Vehicles’ prices could be brought down by allowing their import, he suggested.
