MUHAMMAD SULEMAN MALIK Versus LEVER BROTHERS (PAKISTAN) LTD

ORDER

The order dated 17th February, 1976 has been challenged in this revision, whereby the grievance petition of the petitioner for his reinstatement. in service was dismissed.

2. The petitioner was Engineering Store Keeper. Before bringing the petition for reinstatement under section 34 of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969, he had challenged the order of his termination before the N.I.R.C. but the same was dismissed on the ground that he was a workman. He had brought petition under section 34 contending that he was an employer. The mere fact that the petitioner was an office‑holder of the association of employers is not sufficient to show that he was an employer. He has failed to cite any law that may have guaranteed any right to him for the infringe ment of which he could have invoke the provisions of section 34. Before the learned lower Court he tried to take shelter of Standing Order 12 of Standing Orders Ordinance, 1968 but it is applicable to the workers, whereas the petitioner claims in his petition that he was an employer. So he had failed to show that any right guarantee to him by law has been infringed.

3. The other thing is that the present revision suffers from "aches. Revision is not a statutory right but one can only inform this Tribunal that the Labour Court subordinate to it has passed a wrong or illegal order. Such an information given after eight long years can hardly be entertained.

4. As a result, the revision is dismissed in limine.
