' The learned Presiding Officer, Punjab Labour Court No, 2, Lahore vide Order dated 18-2-1986 directed the respondent to pay Rs,2,200 to the appellant as pay, gratuity and bonus etc. Thereafter, the appellant brought complaint under section 25-A(8) of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969 which has been disposed of by the learned lower Court vide order dated 17-6-1986 with the observation that the respondent had paid Rs,2,200 to the appellant in the presence of the Court.
The memo. Of appeal does not show which order has been challenged in the appeal, nor any certified copy of the order has been brought on the record in spite of the direction given by this Court to the learned counsel for the appellant on the previous date. If the appeal is treated to have been preferred against the order dated 18-2-1986, then the same is hopelessly time-barred since the period of limitation is thirty days but the appeal was presented on 16-7-1986. If the appeal is treated to have been brought against the order dated 17-6-1986 then it is not maintainable because the amount directed by the learned lower Court to be paid to the appellant had been duly paid as is mentioned in the order dated 17-6-1986. The prayer in the appeal is that the respondent be directed to put back the appellant on duty and to pay him Rs,60,900 as back benefits for the period from 29-12-1977 to 17-6-1986. This prayer shows that the appellant is not feeling contented with the order dated 18-2-1986, whereby the respondent was directed to pay to the appellant an amount of Rs,2,200. Since the appeal is time-barred against the said order, it cannot be accepted. There is no application for condonation of delay.
2. As a result of what has been said above, the appeal fails and is dismissed.
