During the previous hearing, on June 8, Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar had observed that the owners of tube wells were acquiring water for free and selling it to residents of the federal capital, which was causing water shortage in the federal capital.
A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, was hearing the case.
As the hearing went under way, the additional attorney general submitted a report to the Supreme Court.
Chief Justice Nisar inquired the attorney general about the sources of supply of water to Islamabad, adding that he would request the interim Prime Minister Nasirul Mulk to personally monitor the water shortage issue.
The caretaker government should not dissolve till the issue is resolved, Chief Justice Nisar remarked during the hearing.
"Reports are presented but there is no progress in the case," he observed.
The chief justice further remarked that the federal government had failed to appoint members of the Federal Cabinet, pointing out that the existing five cabinet member could not effectively run the country.
