The Gas Infrastructure Development Cess (GIDC) was imposed as a levy by the Peoples’ Party government in 2011 on gas consumers in the industrial sector.
Justice Alam remarked, "Should we wait for the LHC's verdict on GIDC [petitions]?" To this, Justice Arab said that the top court should give a verdict on this matter.
