CourtLabour Appellate Tribunal
Judge(s)Sardar Muhammad Abdul Ghafoor Khan Lodhi
ResultAppeal accepted

This appeal emanates from the decision dated 1942-1981 passed by the learned Presiding Officer, Punjab Labour Court No. 7, Gujranwala, where--by the grievance petition of the appellant was dismissed as time-barred.

2. The appellant was suspended on 30-9-1980. He in continuance of the suspension order gave grievance notice on 10-6-1981 which f-was in due course followed by the grievance petition. The petition was not time-- barred as it was given in continuation of the suspension order and suspension is a continuing wrong. On every day on which the suspension continues fresh cause of grievance occurs to the suspended person. Learned counsel for the respondent has not been able to say anything effective against this view.

3. As upshot of the observations made above, I accept the appeal and setting aside the impugned decision of the learned lower Court and declaring the grievance petition of the appellant as within time, remand the case for decision of the remaining points including merits .
