| Decision |
The revision arises from the decision dated 4th January 1983 by the Punjab Labour Court No. 1, Lahore, which dismissed the appeal of the petitioner regarding the recovery of deducted wages. The respondent had resigned and sought recovery of Rs. 30,641.46 as deducted wages. The Authority's jurisdiction was questioned, and it was found that the respondent was not employed in a factory but rather in an office as a storekeeper. The Labour Appellate Tribunal set aside the orders of the Authority and Labour Court, remanding the case back to the Authority to resolve jurisdictional questions and allow both parties to present evidence regarding the employment location's compliance with the definition of a factory under the Factories Act. |
