The Lahore High Court has set aside a tax recovery notice issued to sugar mill of PTI's leader Jahangir Tareen for being illegal. The management of JDW Sugar Mills had challenged Rs 420 million tax recovery notice for the year 2011 issued by Commissioner Inland Revenue FBR, Lahore. The petitioner's argued that the sugar mill was situated in Multan and the commissioner of Lahore region had no power to recover tax from a unit situated outside his jurisdiction. The counsel alleged that the FBR issued the impugned notice at the behest of PML-N govt to victimise the PTI leader.
