Judgment DECISION ' This appeal arises from order of the Fourth Sindh Labour Court, Karachi, rejecting the grievance application of the worker filed under section 25-A of the I,R.O. 2. The appellant was working in the Dyeing Bleaching Department of the respondent Mills. On the day of the incident the appellant took three hours' leave for some reasons and left the mills promises. The Chowkidar at the gate asked him to submit himself for usual search before leaving. On this the appellant got annoyed and he abused the Chowkidar in filthy terms. Matter was reported to the Management. He was served with the charge-sheet for misconduct under Standing Order 15(3) of the Standing Orders Ordinance, 1968 and an Enquiry Officer was appointed to conduct the domestic enquiry. The appellant was asked to sign the enquiry papers but he refused. After , conclusion of the enquiry he was found guilty and a second show-cause notice was issued to him regarding his dismissal. Thereafter, he was served with an order dismissing him from service. 3. It is the case of the appellant that the appellant was charge-sheeted on concocted allegations and he, has been dismissed on account of his union activities. There is, , however, no evidence in the enquiry to show that the dismissal was for reasons of union activities and the order was mala fide. There is hardly any ground for interference with the finding of the Labour Court. The misconduct of the appellant has been established. The order of the Labour Court is accordingly maintained and the appeal is dismissed.
