Court Name: Labour Appellate Tribunal Judge(s): Sardar Muhammad Abdul Ghafoor Khan Lodhi Title: MUHAMMAD NAWAZ vs PUNJAB ROAD TRANSPORT BOARD, ISLAMABAD Case No.: Appeal No, ID-671 of 1984 Date of Judgment:1984-11-17 Reported As: 1985 PLC 536 Result: N/A
JUDGMENT
JUDGMENT ' The appeal captioned above is directed against the decision, dated 18-10-1984 recorded by the learned Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Islamabad, dismissing the grievance petition of the appellant. 2. This Tribunal has jurisdiction to hear appeals arising from the decisions made by the Labour Courts functioning in Punjab. The Labour Court the decision of which has been challenged in this appeal is not functioning in Punjab and the case is also not of the establishment situated in Punjab. It has been argued that no separate Appellate Tribunal for Islamabad territory has been appointed, so this tribunal is competent to hear appeals arising from the decisions of Labour Court, Islamabad. The contention has no force. Unless this tribunal is authorised to dispose of such appeal it has no jurisdiction. In a case titled as Saleem Akhtar Mughal v. Federal Bank for Co- operatives, President's Order No,12 of 1971 was cited but that too is not helpful. The President of Pakistan has by means of the said order authorised the Government of the Punjab to exercise same powers in relation to Islamabad capital territory as were exercisable by the Government of West Pakistan before July, 1970. Since the Government of the Punjab has not authorised this tribunal to hear appeals and revisions arising from the decisions and orders of Labour Court, Islamabad, the said President's order is not helpful. 3. As a result the memo. Of appeal be returned to the appellant. Appeal not entertained.
