Petitioner: ASSISTANT ENGINEER, MACHINERY MAINTENANCE SUB-DIVISION No, 2, HYDERABAD VS Respondent: HAROON NISA AND 2 OTHERS
Court Name: Labour Appellate Tribunal Judge(s): Z. A. Channa Title:ASSISTANT ENGINEER, MACHINERY MAINTENANCE SUB-DIVISION No, 2,
HYDERABAD vs HAROON NISA AND 2 OTHERS Case No.: Application No, KAR-746 of 1980, Date of Judgment:1980-11-01 Reported As: 1981 PLC 334 Result: Application rejected Judgment ORDER This is an application by the Assistant Engineer, Maintenance Sub-Division, praying for the transfer of Applications Nos, 26/74, 27/74 and 28/74, all under section 50 (1), I. R. O. From the learned Fifth Labour Court at Karachi to the learned Sixth Labour Court at Hyderabad. The sole ground on which the transfer application has been based is that the Machinery Maintenance Sub-Division, which was originally based at Karachi, has since been shifted to Hyderabad and all the employees of that Sub-Division accordingly are now working at Hyderabad. This cannot be considered to be a sufficient ground for the transfer of the application in question. It appears that the said applications were filed in the year 1974, but because of appeals having been filed and subsequently the matters having been taken to the High Court in the exercise of its Constitutional jurisdiction, the said applications unfortunately continue to be pending. The transfer of these applications from the Court at Karachi to the Labour Court at Hyderabad would only further delay the disposal of those applications which already have been hanging fire since the past over six years. Moreover, admittedly, all the three respondents are residing at Karachi and it would be difficult for them, being workmen, to peruse their applications at Hyderabad. Finally the cause of action admittedly arose within the jurisdiction of the Karachi, Labour Court. ' I, accordingly, see no justification for transferring these applications to the Labour Court at Hyderabad. The transfer application is rejected. Application rejected.
