LHC concerned over corruption in Railways

Published Updated

The Lahore High Court expressed serious concern on Friday over the state of affairs in Pakistan Railways (PR). The court while hearing a petition filed by the legal advisers to the Railways, remarked that the Railways has become a den of corruption and looting and everyone wants to get his share in the booty.
The respondent has yet to pay the advisers despite direction by the courts to clear their dues. The court was enraged the other day when it came to know that the needful has not been done and the respondent counsel is seeking more time. The court however gave one week's time to the Railways counsel to file reply to the petition.
