A three-member apex court bench headed by Justice Mushir Alam and comprising Justice Faisal Arab and Justice Mansoor Ali Shah would hear the case.

The Registrar Office had issued notices to the attorney general and other respondents in the case.

The federal government last month approached the Supreme Court of Pakistan for urgent hearing over the Gas Infrastructure Development Cess (GIDC) so the matter is decided according to the law and Constitution.

The development came a day after Prime Minister Imran Khan withdrew an ordinance, taking away the amnesty worth Rs208 billion to big defaulters who owed to the government as a GIDC levy.
