The petition was heard by IHC Judge Athar Minallah.
Lawyer representing PTI’s Asad Umar, in his arguments, said that Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) violated the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) act.
He further said that the power companies increased tariffs without the permission of the power regulatory authority.
