Supreme Court stays Punjab limestone royalty ruling

Print this page

Pakistan: The Supreme Court has granted a two-week stay to cement producers, suspending a recent ruling that required higher royalty payments on limestone. Earlier, the Lahore High Court had ordered producers to pay royalties based on 6% of the ex-factory price of cement or clinker. Producers argue that the levy is ‘disproportionate’ and intend to contest the case fully in the next hearing.
