• Says goods be released if substance is not smuggled Iranian petrol • Questions risks of keeping fuel-laden tankers impounded for nearly three years ISLAMABAD: The Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) on Wednesday ordered fresh testing of a seized chemical within two weeks by a laboratory approved by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) to determine whether the substance was light aliphatic hydrocarbon (LAH) or, as alleged by Customs authorities, smuggled Iranian petrol. The chemical was seized by the Directorate of Customs Intelligence and Investigation, Lahore, in 2023. A three-member FCC bench, headed by Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi and comprising Justice Rozi Khan Barrech and Justice Syed Arshad Hussain Shah, also indicated that if the fresh test confirmed the substance to be LAH, as claimed by the respondent, the seized goods should be released immediately.
