This judgment shall dispose of Writ Petitions Nos. 4698, 4699, 4700 and 4701 of 1982 involving identical questions of law and facts and arising out 'of order dated 22-9-1982 passed by the Punjab Labour Court No.5, Faisalabad.
2. The sole grievance of the petitioners is that the claim of private respondents for promotion as Time-keeper was turned down on the ground that neither they deserved to be promoted nor there was any vacancy as such. On these premises it was argued that the Authority under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 was not justified in accepting their application for payment of the purported delayed wages merely on the ground that they were performing the duties of Time-keeper, in that, they had no right to claim wages under the provisions of the Act.
3. The plea raised by learned counsel for the petitioner relates to appreciation of evidence and the controversy raised herein is concluded by a finding of fact which is not open to challenge here.
Furthermore, this is not a fit case for the exercise of my Constitutional jurisdiction, in that, the disputed amount deposited by the petitioners with the Authority under the Payment of Wages Act has already been released to the private respondents before filing of the writ petition.
In view of the above, the writ petitions fail and are hereby dismissed with no order as to costs. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
