Defamation Battle: Jazz Sues SNGPL for PKR 10 Billion

Jazz Takes Legal Action Against SNGPL Over False Gas Theft Accusation, Demanding a Compensation of PKR 10 Billion

Pakistan's leading digital operator Jazz, denies the claim of gas theft made by Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) in a press release on Tuesday.

The claim made by SNGPL against a multinational company like Jazz, which is one of the top taxpayers in the nation and has made over $10.5 billion in investments in Pakistan, is baseless. These bogus claims have the potential to bring down the trust of investors and might negatively affect the stability of the national economy.

Jazz has legally sent Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited (SNGPL) a defamation notice, seeking PKR 10 billion in compensation in response to the false accusations of gas theft from the gas firm.

Jazz has stated that "none of the network sites around the country have been set up for the use of natural gas. In addition to damaging national interests, SNGPL's negligent behavior of making false allegations has the potential to negatively affect the confidence of international investors. We continue to be dedicated to maintaining transparency while maintaining the welfare of our country and the trust of our stakeholders".
