M.S. Bokhari for Petitioner.
Kh. Tariq Masood for Respondent.
Date of hearing : 13th August, 1984.
This is an application under section 50 of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969 for the interpretation of paras. 4 and 5 of the settlement, dated 21st April, 1983.
2. The respondent claims that bonus is to be calculated after house rent and shift allowance in their basic pay, whereas according to the petitioner, it is bound to pay all sort of bonuses on basic pay only. Paras. 4 and 5 of the settlement are quite clear by saying that on the basic pay bonus will be paid, so there is no difficulty in interpreting the settlement. If the parties are at variance, it does not mean that actually there is any difficulty in interpreting a clause of settlement. The Authority under the Payment of Wages Act, where the case is pending, has not said that it feels any difficulty in the interpretation of a settlement or award. The petition is thus dismissed.
