On which the public prosecutor said that in the Ramadan bazaars sugar is being given by sitting on chairs and not in rows. The court said that if your statement was proved wrong, be prepared for contempt proceedings.
The court inquired how much sugar is being sold at the retail shop? To which the public prosecutor replied that Rs. 85 per kg of sugar was being supplied at the retail shop and Rs. 65 per kg at Ramzan Bazaar.
