1. DECISION This is an appeal against an award of the learned Presiding officer of Sind Labour Court No. IV, Karachi, dated June 11, 1973, whereby the learned Labour Court dismissed the application of the appellant. Mr. M. A. Shahani, the learned Representative for the appellant, stated before me that two points were taken in the application under section 34 of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969 (hereinafter called the Ordinance, namely, (1) that the registration 'of the Trade Union be cancelled anti (2) for a declaration that the Union was not the Collective Bargaining Agent. I have come to the conclusion for the reasons, which I would presently mention, that the appli--cation was not maintainable and, therefore should have been dismissed by the learned Labour Court on that ground. Mr. Shahani, the learned Represen--tative for the appellant and Mr. Agha M. A. Khan, the learned Represen--tative for the respondent-Union, admitted that the appellant had urged in Application 'No. 45 of 1972, under section 32 (I-A) of the Ordinance, which is pending before Labour Court No. II, Karachi, that the Union was not the Collective Bargaining Agent. Mr. Shahani conceded that the applica--tion under section 34 of the Ordinance relating to the cancellation of the registration of the Trade Union by the appellant was not maintainable. The short point for consideration is as to whether the appellant having already raised this would intention that the Union says not the Collective Bargain--ing agent before a competent Court having jurisdiction to decide the issue under Application No. 45 of 1972, the application giving rise to the impugned order was maintainable. I am of the view that a party would no be allowed to deprive a Court of competent jurisdiction to give its decision by making a separate application before any other Court for declaration in respect of a point already raised this would amount to harassment of the opposite-party and also to multiplicity of proceedings. I would hold that the application under section 34 of- the Ordinance giving rise to the present appeal was not maintainable. In that view of the matter, the appeal is dismissed. It would be open to the learned Labour Court before whom Application No. 45 of 1972, is pending to dispose of the contention of the appellant, if it has not been already dispose of.
