Case Number HYD-222 of 1988
Decision Date May 13, 1989
Hearing Date May 13, 1989
Decision This appeal is dismissed as it was based on a consent order which does not allow for an appeal. The initial order reinstated the applicant with full benefits based on a concession made by Mr. Mushtaq, which he later disputed. However, there was no evidence of any objection or application contesting the order at the time it was made. The grounds for appeal presented do not substantiate that the counsel for the appellants contested the order. Therefore, the appeal is not maintainable and is dismissed accordingly.
Summary The case revolves around an appeal against a consent order issued by the Sindh Labour Court regarding the reinstatement of an employee, Alamdin, at the Sindh Road Transport Corporation. The appellant's lawyer, Raes M. Mushtaq, claimed that the order was not conceded, but the court found no evidence supporting this claim. The ruling emphasized that appeals against consent orders are not permissible under the Industrial Relations Ordinance. The decision highlighted the importance of consent in legal proceedings, especially in labor disputes, and reaffirmed the legal principle that without a formal objection, consent orders stand. This case serves as a critical reference for labor law practitioners regarding the limitations of appealing consent orders and the necessity of documenting objections at the time of the order.
