PESHAWAR, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 2nd Sep, 2022 ) :Peshawar High Court (PHC) has stopped Peshawar Electricity Supply Company (PESCO) from charging, collecting, imposing Fuel price Adjustment in electricity bills from the provincial consumers.

A writ petition filed by Advocates Shahid Qayum and Said Roman Shah contended that FPA was illegally being collected from petitioners coupled with consumers of KP against the rules and regulation.
