Court Name: Labour Appellate Tribunal Judge(s): Sardar Muhammad Abdul Ghafoor Khan Lodhi Title: PUNJAB ROAD TRANSPORT BOARD vs SAEED AHMAD KHAN AND ANOTHER Case No.: Petition No, LHR-82 of 1980 Date of Judgment:1982-01-23 Reported As: 1984 PLC 1137 Result: Revision partly accepted
JUDGMENT
JUDGMENT ' The facts giving rise to this revision are that the respondent-Union raised an industrial dispute. The petitioner wanted to dismiss respondent No, 1 so he made an application under section 47 read with section 15 (d) of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969, in which an application for interim stay was made. The lower Court issued interim injunction and the said order has been challenged in this revision. By the injunction the lower Court restrained the petitioner from dismissing the respondent till the decision of the petition. My learned predecessor while granting interim injunction modified the order of the lower Court to the effect that no disciplinary action should be taken against the office-holders of the Union, except in accordance with law. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that since the main petition brought by the respondent is not sustainable, there was no interim injunction order. The lower Court has to finally decide this point, 'therefore, no opinion can be expressed at this stage. I partly accept the revision and modify the impugned order of the lower Court directing that till the disposal of the grievance petition of the respondent by the lower Court, no disciplinary action shall be taken against the office-holders of the union, except in accordance with law.
