A court order has helped Salima Sugar Limited start working again. The High Court lifted a ban on the company's bank money, allowing it to pay bills and make sugar.
Judge Jabber Alide made this choice on Friday. The company's head, Wester Kossam, said it helped the business a lot.
The ban had made work very hard, Kossam said. The sugar maker could not pay farmers or buy needed items for making sugar.
"The locked bank accounts made us unable to breathe," said Kossam. "We could not pay people who grow sugar plants. This stopped most of our work, which made us ask the court for help."
The court's choice will let the company start fresh. Kossam thinks farmers want to sell their sugar plants to them again.
"This ruling helps us pay our farmers. We can buy things we need for our fields and sugar house," he said.
The court told the company to give its answer to Mukteshwar Sugar Mills Limited in two weeks.
Last year, the High Court Business Group stopped all of Salima Sugar's bank accounts in eight banks. This came after the company did not pay Audit Consult and Audit Consult Advisory Services. These groups wanted 542 million kwacha for checking the company's money papers.
The sugar maker belongs to the government. With this court's help, it can make sugar again. This news brings hope to many workers and farmers who depend on the company.
