Court Name: Industrial Appellate Tribunal Judge(s): Inamullah Khan Title: EMPLOYEES UNION vs AHMED ABDUL GANI TEXTILE MILLS, KARACHI Case No.: Date of Judgment:1970-05-30 Reported As: 1970 PLC 675 Result: N/A Judgment ORDER This is an application under section 50 of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969, for interpretation of a settlement arrived on 26th December 1969, between Ahmed Abdul Gani Textile Mills Employees' Union and the Mills.

The wages means, basic and dearness allowance." 2. The only difference between the parties is about the number of days' bonus that one has to receive and also as to what is the meaning of "average wages" occurring in the paragraph, reproduced above. 3. To my mind, there is no difficulty so far as the number of days' bonus a workman has to get in 1969. A workman, who has put in a year's service in 1969, will get 24 days' bonus. 4. So far as the interpretation of the term of the expression of "average wages" is concerted, one has to see to .the intention of the parties themselves as to what they meant. This is defined in paragraph 3 of the settlement arrived at on 26th December 1969.…
