Court Name: Labour Appellate Tribunal Judge(s): Sardar Muhammad Abdul Ghafoor Khan Lodhi Title:DILMIR KHAN vs PUNJAB AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPLIES
CORPORATION SARGODHA DMSION, SARGODHA Case No.: Revision Petition No, JG-236 of 1984 Date of Judgment:1984-10-21 Reported As: 1985 PLC 724 Result: Revision dismissed Judgment ORDER ' The order dated 22nd September, 1984 passed by the Presiding Officer, Punjab Labour Court No, 5, Faisalabad, refusing to stop the respondent from deciding the enquiry, is reported to be illegal and without jurisdiction. 2. The line of argument of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the allegations do not amount to misconduct and thus the respondent can be stopped from awarding any punishment before the decision of the main application given under section 25-A. One of the allegations is that the petitioner being the custodian of the property of the respondent failed to adopt security measures which resulted in the pilferage of the respon- dents goods. The charge is of neglect of duty which prima jack amounts to misconduct. The petitioner thus has no prima facie case and the petition for temporary injunction was rightly refused. 3. As a result the revision is dismissed in limine.
