ORDER

' IFTIKHAR MUHAMMAD CHAUDHRY, J.--- Listed petitions have been filed against the judgment, dated 26th January, 2004 passed by learned Division Bench of the High Court of Sindh, Karachi, whereby constitutional petition filed by the petitioner has been dismissed and the judgment of Sindh Labour Appellate Tribunal dated 10th April, 1997 has been maintained.

2. In the instant case precise question for consideration before the High Court was whether the respondents are employees of the petitioner or the Contractor (respondent No,4)? The Sindh Labour Appellate Tribunal on the basis of material available on record has concluded that the respondents are employees of the petitioner. Such findings of fact have been confirmed by the High Court who had undertaken the exercise to go through the relevant provisions of law as well as the evidence produced by the parties. Since both the Courts have held that the private respondents are employees of the petitioner and as far as Contractor (respondent No,4) is concerned he is not their employer. Therefore, in such view of the matter we are of the opinion that impugned judgment being unexceptionable admits of no interference by this Court in exercise of jurisdiction under Article 185(3) of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

' Thus, for the foregoing reasons we see no merit in these petitions as such the same are dismissed and leave declined.
