Court Name: Labour Appellate Tribunal Judge(s): Mushtaq Ali Kazi Title:EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, TUBEWELL DIVISION SCARP, NAUSHERO FEROZE vs
MUHAMMAD RAFIQ and 161 others Case No.: Revision Application No, SUK-66 of 1996 Date of Judgment:1996-04-24 Reported As: 1997 PLC 153 Result: Revision dismissed Judgment DECISION ' The Authority for Payment of Wages Act allowed a sum of Rs,23,05,193.75 to 161 workers, working under the Executive Engineer Tube-Well Scarp, Nausharo Feroze. This payment was disputed and appeal was filed before Labour Court, Sukkur against the order of the Authority. The Labour Court directed under section 17 of Payment of Wages Act that sum ordered by the Authority in respect of Wages be deposited in Court within 30 days. This order was not complied with by the appellant. The appeal was also otherwise barred by limitation as it was filed beyond 30 days allowed for the purpose. On these grounds appeal was dismissed. 2. Against this order of dismissal of appeal a Revision Application has been filed in this Tribunal. Even by filing this Revision Application on 27-2-1994 or until now up to this date of hearing no certificate of deposit of the amount has been produced. This certificate being mandatory under section 17(1-a) appeal did not lie before the Labour Court. The appeal having been dismissed rightly no Revision is maintainable before the Tribunal. 3. The Revision Application is therefore dismissed in limine.
