| Decision |
The application for the restoration of the revision petition dismissed in default was rejected. The appellate tribunal had the supervisory power under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, but no statutory right was granted to the parties to invoke this jurisdiction. When a revision petition is dismissed in default, there is no right to restore it. The tribunal emphasized that the absence of a right to challenge an order in revision means there can be no right to ask for restoration of the dismissed petition. Thus, the petition for restoration was denied. |
| Summary |
In this case, the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Punjab addressed the issue of a petition for the restoration of a revision petition that had been dismissed in default. The decision highlighted that under the Industrial Relations Ordinance (XXIII of 1969), specifically section 38 (3a), the Appellate Tribunal has supervisory powers but parties do not possess the right to invoke this jurisdiction. The case underscored the principle that once a revision petition is dismissed in default, there is no statutory framework allowing for its restoration. This ruling clarifies the limitations of jurisdiction for parties involved in industrial relations disputes and emphasizes the importance of adhering to procedural guidelines. The tribunal's decision serves as a precedent in matters concerning the dismissal of petitions and the restoration process, reinforcing the need for parties to understand their rights and the extent of the tribunal's authority. |
