Relations Ordinance (XXIII of 1969)- --Ss. 37 & 38-Contempt proceedings--Workman's representative making averments in written arguments before Tribunal likely to lower dignity of Tribunal and to prejudicially affect administration of justice of Labour Courts-Workman a semi-literate person not understanding proper functions of Tribunal mistakenly using language in application containing highly derogatory remarks in respect of Tribunal-Contempt notices issued--Both realising their error expressing sincere oral apology followed by unconditional written apology-Notices, in circumstances, discharged and proceedings terminated-Complaint of workman against Management not disclosing any offence except that Management assisted Tribu­nal in tracing out old record Complaint, in circumstances, dis­missed.
