However, the court ordered the increased price to be applied after the new month starts.
During the hearing, Justice Aqeel Ahmed Abbasi said the new price cannot be readily applied as concerns of people from low-income backgrounds should not be overlooked.
The price of milk went up from Rs85 to Rs100 per litre, following a dispute between retailers and wholesalers.
