ORDER

1. MD. NURUL ISLAM KHAN (CHAIRMAN).---Member Mr. K. A. Malik is present. The other member is absent. Both parties are present. Heard both the parties.

2. It has been pointed out by the learned Advocate for the accused that the Failure Certificate was issued by the con--ciliator on 27-10-69. The complainant was dismissed on 26-12-69, and the case under reference being Labour Dispute Case No. 99 of 1969 on the strength of which this present Complaint Case No. 3 of 1970 has been made was filed on 9-1-70, by the President, Adamjee Group of Companies (Head 01$ce) Office Employees' Union. This case was later withdrawn by an application of the President of the said Union on 11-3-70. So the said Labour Dispute Case No. 99 of 1969 should be treated as not filed. So in the eye of law no case existed before this Court. In view of this it appears that no complaint lies. It further appears that Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969 came into operation on 13-11-69. But tile -Labour Dispute Case -No. 99 'of 1969 was filed under section 6 of the East Pakistan Labour Disputes Act, 1965 on obtaining a Failure Certificate from the conciliation officer. In fact, there also the Labour Dis--pute Case of 99 of, 1969 did not lie as that Act was repealed and the party should have come under the relevant provisions of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. Further it is found that section 6 of the East Pakistan Labour Disputes Act, 1965 is not inconsistent with any relevant provisions of the Industrial Relations Ordinance and it has not been saved under section 67(2) of the Ordinance. There also that Labour Dispute Case No. 99 of 1969 did not lie. Possibly on understanding the position that case was withdrawn by .the President of the Union.

3. In view of all these technicalities it appears that no complaint lies in the present case and accordingly the complaint is dismissed under section 200, Cr. P. C.
