ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) – The Islamabad High Court has ordered the complete closure of all shisha cafes operating in the federal capital until new rules governing their operation are framed.
Chief Justice Sarfraz Dogar issued the directions, ordering that all shisha cafes remain closed until the relevant rules are introduced.
The court also directed the authorities to withdraw no-objection certificates (NOCs) previously issued to shisha cafes.
The written judgment will be issued later, according to the details reported on Wednesday.
The order means shisha cafes in Islamabad will not be allowed to operate until the new regulatory framework is put in place.
Further details about the court’s reasoning and the scope of the directions are expected once the written judgment becomes available.
