Tankers’ Association (TA) Chief Yousaf Shahwani informed the court that they were only provided with 130 acres out of the total 200 acres at the new venue.
The CJP then asked Mayor Waseem Akhtar why there was a discrepancy. The mayor disputed the statistics and asked the court to send its official for inspection to ascertain the facts.
The Chief Justice then ordered the shifting of the terminal within a duration of 15 days.
The CJP said that no tanker should be seen parked in Shireen Jinnah Colony after two weeks. He also warned to lock up anyone who observes a strike on the matter.
When Shahwani asserted that shifting the terminal would not be possible on such a short notice, the CJP asked him to show some love for the country.
On April 28 this year, the Supreme Court had given 15 days to all oil tankers to shift to the Zulfikarabad terminal.
“After 15 days, Rangers and police officials will shift oil tankers from terminals within Karachi to Zulfikarabad oil terminal,” Justice Gulzar Ahmed had said while heading a two-member bench at the Supreme Court’s Karachi Registry.
