ORDER

' SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.-This is a petition for special leave to appeal from the order dated 11-6-83 of the Lahore High Court dismissing the constitutional petition of the petitioner from the judgment of the Punjab Labour Appellate Tribunal.

2. The petitioner was an employee of respondent No,l. His services were terminated on the basis of resignation allegedly tendered by him. He challenged the order of termination of services before the Labour Court. By an order dated 24-11-1981, the Labour Court accepted the petition and directed his reinstatement in service. Respondent No,1 filed an appeal before the Punjab Labour Appellate Tribunal. The learned Tribunal found that not only the petitioner had tendered his resignation on his own but that his petition before the Labour Court was barred by time.

Accordingly, it accepted the appeal of respondent No,1 and set aside the order of the Labour Court.

The petitioner invoked the Constitutional jurisdiction of the High Court to challege the legality of the order of the learned Appellate Tribunal but without any success. He now seeks leave to appeal from this Court.

3. As noticed earlier, the learned Appellate Tribunal has found that the application of the petitioner before the Labour Court was barred by time and that the order of termination was based upon his own resignation. The learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to persuade us that these findings suffer from any infirmity. The petition is without any merit and is hereby dismissed.
