Court Name: Labour Appellate Tribunal Judge(s): Sardar Muhammad Abdul Ghafoor Khan Lodhi Title: LAWRENCEPUR WOOLLEN And TEXTILE MILLS vs AURANGZEB KHAN Case No.: Revision Petition No.RI-319 of 1985 Date of Judgment:1985-10-27 Reported As: 1986 PLC 418 Result: Revision accepted
JUDGMENT
JUDGMENT The order dated 10-9-1985 recorded by the learned Presiding Officer, Punjab Labour Court No.6, Rawalpindi rejecting the application for the, amendment of written statement to raise the pleas that the presentation of the grievance petition by the lawyer was improper and that the grievance notice was time-barred, is reported to be wrong and of no legal effect. 2. The grounds given by the learned lower Court for disallowing the amendment, is that the case was at the stage of arguments and if, amendment was allowed, opportunity of evidence would be given, resulting in the delay of the disposal of a very old case. It has been observed that no reason has been given for not asking for amendment earlier. The impugned order shows that in views of the learned lower Court the amendment was not necessary. Since the High Court expressed the view that presentation of, grievance petitions by lawyer was not proper, the amendment was sought late. The question if the grievance notice was time-barred or not, touched the jurisdiction of the Court as without a valid grievance notice, the Court has no jurisdiction, so this amendment too is necessary. 3. As a result, the revision is accepted and setting aside the impugned order, the proposed amendment is allowed.
