Case No.Appeal No, FD/510/Pb., of 1981
Date1983-01-24

ResultAppeal accepted

' This appeal arises from the order dated 10th August, 1981 passed by the learned Presiding Officer, Punjab Labour Court No, 5, Faisalabad, Camp at Sargodha, whereby the complaint brought by Ch. Umar Hayat under section 16 of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969 was accepted and the appellants were convicted and sentenced to simple imprisonment till the rising of the Court under section 53 of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969.

2. The facts of the case are that the appellants went to the office of the General Manager and demanded that the departmental enquiry started against Ghulam Ali, one of the appellants, be dropped and on his refusal shouted, indulged abusing and when the Security Officer reached and intervened, he has beaten. The impugned order passed by the learned lower Court is cripple, so much so that it does not state even the facts of the case. The evidence of the prosecution witnesses was not discussed and no reasons given how the offence stood proved by their evidence .AS the learned lower Court has not shown as to how the offence was proved by the prosecution evidence, I am not in a position to say whether the learned lower Court has scrutinised the prosecution evidence before accepting it.

3. I, therefore, accept the appeal and setting aside the conviction read the case for redecision in the light of the observations made above. Since the appellants have already undergone the punishment of simple imprisonment, it is unnecessary to set aside the same.
