Therefore, neither the appeal nor the petition could be considered valid in the eyes of the law. This decision underscores the importance of proper legal representation and adherence to procedural requirements in filing appeals.
Summary In the case of Application No. FD-380 of 1988, the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Punjab dealt with a petition for re-admission of an appeal that had previously been dismissed in default.
