Muhammad Amin Muhammad Bashir, for my conclusion that under section 10-C of the Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968 (hereinafter called the Standing Order) that no less than thirty per cent, means equal to one month's wages. No useful purpose can be served to repeat the reasons given in the said . I see no reason to take a different view in this Appeal.
