Court Name: Labour Appellate Tribunal Judge(s): Sardar Muhammad Abdul Ghafoor Khan Lodhi Title: JAVED AKHTAR vs ALLIED BANK OF PAKISTAN, LAHORE Case No.: Appeal No. LHR-171 of 1986 Date of Judgment:1986-06-03 Reported As: 1986 PLC 1139 Result: Appeal dismissed
JUDGMENT
JUDGMENT In the appeal titled above the decision, dated 15-3-1986 recorded by the learned Presiding Officer, Punjab Labour Court No. 1, Lahore has been challenged, whereby the grievance petition has been directed to be returned to the appellant for want of jurisdiction. 2. The learned lower Court has followed 1985 PLC 1053 for holding that the Labour Courts have no jurisdiction. As the orders passed by the Labour Courts and this tribunal are subject to writ jurisdiction of Lahore High Court, its dictums are to be followed. So, the learned lower Court rightly relied upon the ruling cited above. However, since the matter is pending before the Supreme Court and this is not known what will be the ultimate result, the ruling cited above is to be followed conditionally. 3. As a result, the appeal is dismissed with this direction that if the Supreme Court finds that the Labour Courts have jurisdiction, the appellant will be entitled to get his grievance petition decided by the learned lower Court, on merits.
