A legal notice has been issued to the Customs officials for stopping imported crude oil and other materials of a private petroleum company at NLC Dry Port Quetta despite clear orders by the Peshawar High Court (PHC). The legal notice also directed FBR chairman and other officials to ensure compliance with court orders. A legal notice has been sent to Collector of Customs Quetta and Deputy Collector of NLC Dry Port Quetta through Advocate Ishaq Ali Qazi. The notice states that the petitioner, SABCO Petroleum Services, is a company that has been importing crude oil and other goods from Iran for a long time. The company has also been given clearance in the sales tax returns of September, October, November and December 2024, while the company's license was renewed twice this way till December 31, 2025. However, the company's goods have now been held at NLC Dry Port Quetta due to a lack of clearance. The goods included two consignments of raw materials, for which duty and taxes have already been paid. However, on December 16, 2024, and December 19, 2024, authorities issued letters raising various doubts about these goods. Subsequently, on January 8, the Director General of the Department of Explosives, Ministry of Energy, and Petroleum Division revoked the company's Form-L license without any justification. According to the legal notice, the revocation of the Form-L license has been challenged in PHC. The notice appealed the Director and Collectorate officers to release the goods at the dry port. The court ordered customs officials to release the goods on February 20, but despite the court's order, the goods have not been released, which amounts to contempt of court. The notice calls for ensuring compliance with court orders and allowing the release of the goods. It also urges the FBR chairman and the Federal Tax Ombudsman to take notice of the situation and ensure the implementation of the court order.
