1. ' Z. C. VALLIANI, J.-The question of law raised in this petition is whether the National Book Foundation (respondent No, 1) a statutory corporation established by the Federal Government under the National Book Foundation Act, 1972, is an 'industry' within the meaning of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969.
2. ' We have heard the learned counsel at some length. In the course of the arguments they have appreciated the fact that this question was decided by the Labour Court without having sufficient evidence on the question of fact involved. They, therefore, agree that the impugned order of the Labour Court and of necessity the judgment of the learned Single Judge, be set aside and the matter remanded to the Labour Court for a fresh decision.
3. In view of the aforesaid we set aside the judgment of the learned Single Judge and the order of the Sind Labour Court No, II, Karachi dated 6th March, 1979. The result is that the proceedings in which the last mentioned order was passed shall be deemed to be pending and shall be tried again from the stage immediately before passing of the order dated 6th March, 1979 after giving opportunity to the parties to lead additional evidence, if any, on the question as to whether the National Book Foundation is an industry or not. The matter shall then be decided according to law. There will, however, be no order as to costs. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
