Hameed‑ur‑Rehman for Respondents.
Date of hearing :10th February. 1985.
The order dated 3rd June, 1984 passed by the learned Presiding Officer, Punjab Labour Court No. 7, Gujranwala has been challenged in this appeal, whereby the complaint of the appellant brought under section 53 read with section 15 of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969 was dismissed on the ground that no offence was made out by the facts stated. The allegations made by the appellant are that the respondents are, by sending letters to the higher authorities trying to show that the appellant is dangerous and a man of bad character and are trying to entangle the appellant in cases. A perusal of section 15 of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969 would show that the allegations contained in the complaint and the statement of the appellant recorded in the learned lower Court under section 202, Cr. P. C. do not constitute any offence enumerated in the section. It has been argued by the appellant that the learned lower Court dismissed the complaint earlier than the date fixed as he had felt annoyed on the appellant's moving application to this Court for taking the learned lower Court to task. This is true that the complaint was dismissed before the next date could come but the, impugned order factually and legally does not appear to be wrong. If the facts stated do not constitute any offence the complaint can be dismissed at any stage. The impugned order does not suffer from any legal infirmity, so no interference is called for.
2. As a result, the appeal is dismissed.
