' The order dated 26-9-1984 passed by the learned Presiding Officer, Punjab Labour Court No,6, Rawalpindi is said to be illegal. The learned lower Court refused to vacate ad interim stay order holding that the respondent is prima facie covered by the definition of workman because being a Private Secretary his duties were to take dictation and to type the same. Duty roster (Annexure 'L') has been attached to this revision but it appears that it was not placed before the learned lower Court. In the absence of any document on the point of duties of the respondent, the impugned order does not appear to be incorrect.
2. The other argument is that the order was to become effective from 15-9-1984, so status quo ante could be ordered on 16-9-1984. It has not been shown that the termination order had been implemented by relieving the respondent before 16-9-1984. 15-9-1984 was holiday, so the respondent could be relieved on 16-9-1984. So, the stay order issued on the said date was effective.
This is not the case of the petitioner that on 14-9-1984 the respondent had been relieved from his duties pursuant to the termination order. The impugned order thus does not appear to be suffering from any legal infirmity. The revision is, therefore, dismissed in limine.
