1. ORDER This is an application for interpretation of Clause 6 of the Settlement entered into on 4th June, 1973, between Y.W.C.A. and the Employees' Union. On a perusal of paragraph 6 of the Settlement, it appears to me that there is nothing to hold that it is prospective and not retrospective. The learned Advocate for the opposite-party, in fact agreed to this interpretation, but submitted that the constitution of Y.W.C.A. would show that it is a Charitable Institution and not an industry or a Commercial Establishment and, therefore, the application of Standing Order l2 of the West Pakistan Industrial and Commecial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968, (hereinafter called the Standing Orders Ordinance), which lays down payment of gratuity, would not be applicable. In this connection Mr. Amjad Hussain for the opposite-party also submitted that Y.W.C.A. does not employ twenty persons. It employs only 18 persons and, therefore, also the provisions of the Standing Orders Ordinance would not be attracted. Mr. Mohammad Saddiq Rajput, for the applicant Union, in reply submitted that these two points were not taken before the Conciliation Officer and, therefore, Mr. Amjad Hussain cannot take this at this stage. There is no force in this contention. Mr. Amjad Hussain is not debarred from taking this point in an application for interpretation made by the Union. I would hold that Y.W.C.A. is neither an industry nor a Commercial Establishment and, there fore, the provisions of the Standing Orders Ordinance do not apply. The application is dismissed. Application dismissed.
