' This is an application brought under section 38(5) of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969 for punishing the respondent for not paying wages to the petitioner for the period from the date on which the appeal of the respondent was accepted by this Tribunal and order of reinstatement recorded in favour of the petitioner was set aside, to the date on which the writ petition was accepted and setting aside the decision of this Tribunal.
2. Since the grievance of the petitioner is not for the wages from the date of his dismissal till the date on which the grievance petition was accepted by the learned Labour Court, it cannot be said that any contempt of Court has been committed. No doubt, the High Court has set aside the order of this Tribunal whereby the grievance petition was dismissed and by such an order the order of reinstatement recorded by the learned lower Court stood revived, but nonpayment of wages for the period mentioned above is not against any direction for the payment of wages. By this I do not mean that the petitioner is not entitled to the wages for the said period, but since there is no direction, it cannot be said that either the order of the learned Labour Court or that of the High Court has not been implemented or that the said orders have been violated. Since the petitioner has been put back on duty in compliance with the order passed by the Labour Court which was revived by the order of the High Court, the said orders stand implemented. Since after the writ was accepted, the petitioner was put back on duty, he is entitled to the wages.
3. As a result of what has been said above, the complaint fails and is dismissed, but. The respondent is directed to pay wages for the period 1-7-1982 to 1-11-1986.
