1. ORDER This is an appeal against an order dated 12th January, 1974, passed by the Junior Labour Court No. 2, Lyallpur, by which petitions under section 25-A of the Industial Relations Ordinance, 1969, were accepted by that Court. Briefly stated facts of this case are that the respondents were probationary employees of Punjab Agricultural Supplies Corporation. Their services were dispensed with without any notice. Both the respondents filed petitions to the Junior Labour Court. As they were on the same cause of action and involved the same question of law and fact, therefore, they were disposed of by one order. I have proposed to do the same. Contention of the appellant is that Punjab Agricultural Supplies Corporation is the successor body of Agricultural Development Corporation which had its own terms and conditions of service, therefore, West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employement (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968 does not apply and as such Junior Labour Court was not justified in re-instating the respondents under Industrial Relations Ordinance. Learned counsel for the respondents has vehmently opposed this version of the appellant on the ground that Punjab Agricultural Supplies Corporation as such cannot adopt the terms and conditions of service of Agricualtural Development Corporation. No doubt, that Punjab Agricultural Supplies Corporation have been constituted under a different Act and it has not got itsj own rules and conditions of service but the whole staff of the Agricultural Development Corporation have been absorbed in this Corporation and appel-j lant has not been able to show me that rules and conditions of service, mada under that statute have been repealed. I Learned counsel for the appellant has claimed that even under the West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968 respondents have been terminated according to Standing Order No. 12(2). Admittedly the respondents were the probationers and their services were terminable without any notice. Learned counsel for the respondents has drawn my attention that this Standing Order has been, changed by an amendment, published in Gazette of Pakistan dated 13th April, 1972, and according to this amendment notice is necessary even to probationers.
2. Learned counsel for the appellant has produced a copy of Gazette of Pakistan dated September 1972. This is again an amendment of the Standing Order No. l2, wherein it has been provided that for probationers no notice is required to be given at the time of termination of their services. For the foregoing discussion order of the Junior Labour Court is not maintainable and it is, therefore, set aside and appeal is accepted. Appeal accepted.
