Sindh High Court Bench exempted Hotels & Chai Khana from Ehtram-e-Ramzan Ordinance after 116 hotel and tea vendors from different cities of Sindh filed separate applications.
The applicants from Hyderabad, Nawabshah, Sanghar, Shahdadpur, Nawabshah & Mirpur Khas said that their hotels, tea shops, cafes and restaurants are near bus stops, railway stations and on main highways on which travelers are expected to stop.
Last year they were exempted from the ordinance and they requested they should again be exempted because they suffer huge losses if their businesses are forced to close.
The applicants said we are asked by the local SHO’s to make sure our shops are closed otherwise legal actions will be taken. They appealed to the court for exemption which was accepted.
Sindh High Court ordered the Deputy Commissioners of Hyderabad, Nawabshah & Mirpur Khas to implement the court orders.
