' The six revisions captioned above arise from the order dated 17-1-1987 recorded by learned Presiding Officer, Punjab Labour Court No, 9, Multan whereby the petitioner was burdened with costs of Rs, 200 in each case.
2. The grievance petitions were pending in learned Labour Court No,8 and the said Court was without Presiding Officer on account of the retirement of previous Presiding Officer, therefore, the urgent petitions moved by the respondents were entrusted to the learned Labour Court No, 9 for disposal. The learned Labour Court burdened the petitioner with costs on the ground that written statements were not filed. The impugned order is without jurisdiction, firstly because the said Court was not seized of the main case which were pending in the learned Labour Court No,8 and secondly because even learned Labor Court No, 9 had not previously directed the petitioner to file the written statements. The respondents have not been able to say anything effective in support of the impugned orders. The impugned order therefore are not sustainable.
3. As a result the revisions are accepted and the impugned orders are set aside.
