MANAGER, HAMEED MASOOD (PRIVATE LTD.) vs PUNJAB LABOUR APPELLATE COURT, LAHORE

Law:

Section:

(a) Industrial Relations Ordinance (XXIII of 1969)-- ---S. 25-A---Constitution of Pakistan (1973), Art. 199---Constitutional jurisdiction, exercise of---Purely factual controversy having been raised by employer which had been determined against him by two Courts after proper appreciation of evidence on record, could not be re-opened by High Court in Constitutional jurisdiction. 1980 P L C 79 ref. (b) West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance (VI of 1968)-- ---S.O 12., cls.

(c) West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance (VI of 1968)-- ---S.Os. 1 & 12---Classifications of workmen, stated.
