This is a brief judgment from the Sindh High Court concerning a labor dispute. The core legal question involved the jurisdiction of the Labour Court and the maintainability of the grievance petition under labor laws. The Court dismissed the petition, holding that the impugned order of the Labour Court was in accordance with law and did not warrant interference under constitutional jurisdiction. The key principle laid down is that the constitutional jurisdiction cannot be invoked to bypass the statutory remedies and findings of fact recorded by specialized tribunals unless jurisdictional errors are apparent on the face of the record.

Questions settled in this judgment
  • Whether the High Court can interfere with the factual findings of the Labour Court under constitutional jurisdiction?
  • Is a grievance petition maintainable without fulfilling the preconditions of the relevant labor statutes?

  • Article 199, Constitution of Pakistan 1973
