QURBAN MASIH Versus MUNICIPAL COMMITTEE, GUJRAT19R. B. INDUSTRIES (PVT.) LTD., KARACHI SINDH LABOUR COURT NO. III
DECISION
Heard Mr. Izzat Puri for the applicant.
It appears that the applicants were allowed to close down their factor under Standing Order 11‑A with the direction that they should discharge their obligation to their employees. But that was not done and a number of applications were made by the employees before the Labour Court under section 51, I.R.O. claiming their dues.
2. The applicants were served and did not appear with the result that the matter proceeded ex parte. Then an application for setting aside the ex pane order was made, and again applicants remained absent which resulted in the impugned order.
3. An application under section 38(3) is only an information and it is left to the Court to exercise suo motu jurisdiction if the circumstance so warranted.
4. Looking to the conduct of the applicant, and also the fact that the, Court had taken care to refuse some of the claims set forward by the employees, there is no occasion for me to exercise my powers under, suo motu jurisdiction. All the applications are therefore dismissed in limine.
A.A./2094/Lb.S Applications dismissed.
