Revision Application No. KAR-199 of 1990 |
| Decision Date |
Oct 18, 1990 |
| Hearing Date |
Oct 18, 1990 |
| Decision |
The revision application was dismissed in limine. The Labour Court determined that the appeal could not be entertained as the order of the Authority allowing the respondent to contest the application was not considered a direction under subsections (3) and (4) of section 15 of the Payment of Wages Act. The provisions of the law clearly state that an appeal under section 17 could only lie against specific directions made by the Authority, which were not applicable in this case. As such, the Labour Court's ruling was upheld, confirming that the order was rightly dismissed. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, where the applicant filed a revision application against the dismissal of their appeal by the Labour Court. The primary issue was whether the Labour Court had jurisdiction to entertain an appeal against the Authority's decision, which allowed the respondent to contest an application. The Authority's decision was not deemed a direction under the relevant sections of the Act. The ruling clarified the limitations of the appeal process under the Payment of Wages Act, reinforcing the necessity for specific directives to trigger an appeal. This decision holds significance in understanding the procedural aspects of the Payment of Wages Act and the jurisdiction of Labour Courts in wage disputes in Pakistan. Key phrases include 'Payment of Wages Act', 'Labour Court Jurisdiction', and 'Appeal Process'. |
