Ali Akbar, Advocate‑on‑Record for Petitioner.
Nemo for Respondents.
Date of hearing : 24th October 1975.
‑On hearing the learned counsel for the ,petitioner, we find no proper ground to grant leave to appeal.
The petitioner admittedly did not give notice to the employer before invoking the jurisdiction of the Labour Court. This was in contravention of the provisions of Standing Order No. 18. The High Court has relied on Saleemsons Ltd. v. 2nd Sind Labour Court (P L D 1973 Kar. 1) and dismissed the writ petition with the observation that "the order passed by the Labour Court in the present case is covered by law and authority." It is not shown that the vie taken by the Labour Court is not covered by law and authority. In the circumstances, the writ petition filed by the petitioner to challenge the order of the Court as without lawful authority was rightly dismissed.
Leave to appeal is refused and the petition dismissed.
