' The above-captioned appeal challenges the decision dated 20-6-1984 recorded by the learned Presiding Officer, Punjab Labour Court No,2, Lahore, directing the reinstatement of the respondent in service without back benefits.
2. The only ground on which the direction of reinstatement has been given is that service of charge-sheet has not been proved. The learned counsel for the appellant has failed to show that the charge-sheet was delivered to the respondent. No copy of publication of the charge-sheet is on the file. Likewise, no postal or A/D receipt or any other receipt taken from the respondent in token of service of charge-sheet can be found on the record. Ex.R-3 can be said to be a charge- sheet but it was not proved that it was delivered to the respondent. Exs. R-4 and R-5 are not charge-sheets but it is mentioned herein that the charge-sheet has burn issued and no reply has been filed. None of the two witnesses examined by the appellant before the learned lower Court said that they had personally served any charge-sheet. Since the charge-sheet was not served, no enquiry could legally be held and all the remaining proceedings are vitiated. The impugned direction of reinstatement recorded by the learned lower Court, therefore, is correct and there is no scope to interfere with it.
3. As a result, the appeal is dismissed in limine. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
