Case Number |
KAR-719 of 1981 |
Decision Date |
Jan 21, 1982 |
Hearing Date |
Jan 21, 1982 |
Decision |
The appeal was dismissed on the grounds that no appeal lies against interlocutory orders passed by Labour Courts, including orders rejecting applications for restoration of appeals dismissed for non-appearance and default. The restoration application was filed two days after the appeal was dismissed, and the Labour Court dismissed it on the sole ground that it was filed late. The Tribunal decided to register the matter as a suo motu revision, issuing notice to the parties to explain why the order should not be revised. |
Summary |
The case involves an appeal against a decision made by the Labour Court, which dismissed the appellant's grievance petition due to non-appearance. The Labour Appellate Tribunal found that the appeal against the dismissal of the restoration application was not maintainable. It highlighted that the appellant misheard the hearing date, which led to the delay in filing the restoration application. The Tribunal emphasized the importance of allowing the appellant an opportunity to explain the delay, thus registering the matter as a suo motu revision. This case illustrates critical aspects of procedural justice and the handling of non-appearance in Labour Court proceedings. |
