DECISION ' These two appeals are directed against the single order passed by the learned Presiding Officer, VIIth Sindh Labour Court at Sukkur, dated 20-9-1989, whereby the grievance petition of the respondents Abdul Razzak Chachar and others was allowed. In the grievance petition the petitioners had prayed that the railway authorities be permanently restrained and be directed not to implement the policy contained in the letter dated 11-3-1987.
2. I have heard Mr. Shabbir Ahmed Awan, Advocate and Mr. Akhlaq Ahmed Siddiqui, Advocate for the appellants and Mr. Nizamuddin Baloch, Advocate for the respondents and have also gone through the record and proceedings of the case.
3. It appears from the record that the letter dated 11-3-1987, whereby certain policy was enforced and which was impugned in the petition and the relief was sought against the policy contained in the letter, was not produced before the Labour Court. As such, the learned Labour Court passed the order without considering and applying its mind to the impugned letter. Therefore, such order is not sustainable. The impugned order of the learned Labour Court is set aside. Mr. Shabbir Ahmed Awan, who appears for the appellants in Appeal No,SUK407 of 1989 and Mr. Akhlaq Ahmed Siddiqui, who appears for the appellants in Appeal No,SUK-419 of 1989 are directed to produce the letter dated 11-3-1987 before the learned Labour Court. If the Advocates fail to produce the letter, the learned Labour Court is directed to summon to some senior officer of Pakistan Railways to produce the said letter. The matter be disposed of as early as possible. The railway authorities are directed to maintain the status quo prevailing at the time of filing of the grievance petition.
4. The appellants in Appeal No,SUK-407 of 1989 were not the parties to the original grievance petition but who feeling aggrieved by the order filed appeal are ordered to be joined as party before the learned Labour Court. The parties would be at liberty to lead any fresh evidence before the learned Labour Court if they so desire. Both appeals are disposed of in the above terms.
