The Lahore High Court on Monday issued notice to Punjab government for January 17 on a petition of Ramzan Sugar Mill officials praying to restrain the authorities concerned from harassing them in violation of the court's earlier order.

The petitioner's counsel contended that police and government officials were creating hurdles in pipeline project despite an assurance given by them in the court. He pointed out that the court's order was not being enforced in letter and spirit. The court regretted that police officials had undertaken not to harass the Mills' administration but the same was not followed, adding that officials' act was tantamount to contempt of court.
