ORDER

The opinion was not received from the Expert but he again asked for fresh signatures in the same ink (black). The respondent has given statement that the respondent does not press the authentication of handwriting expert, hence same is dismissed. Sd/‑ P. O. 18th January, 1983."

In view of the extraordinary delay caused by the handwriting expert in submitting his report, the respondent‑Bank was justified in giving up the handwriting expert and the learned Labour Court rightly allowed this request.

9. The upshot of the above discussion is that in my opinion not only the appellant was not entitled to file a grievance petition as he is not a workman for the purposes of the Standing Orders but that further both the charges against him have been fully established. I would, therefore, concur with the view taken by the learned Labour Court and would dismiss the appeal in limine.

A. E. Appeal dismissed
