DECISION ' The appellant was employed as a carpenter with the respondent-company for the project of Jinnah Terminal at the Karachi Airport. Pending the work at the project the appellant sustained injury in his eye for which he made application under Workmen's Compensation Act to the Commissioner. Pending these proceedings, the appellant was given a notice of termination of his service simpliciter for the reason that the project for which he had been employed was nearly complete and his services were no longer required and they were terminated on that account, and that he should receive all his legal dues. Meanwhile his application for compensation on account of eye injury was also granted and he was allowed Rs,6,300 by way of compensation.
2. Mr. Gohar Iqbal has argued that the appellant has not been paid his "total" dues in view of the compensation, that the respondent company had to pay to the appellant and the appellant has this grievance. In case, there is balance of any dues payable to the appellant, he should have moved the proper forum under Payment of Wages Act but this petition under section 25-A of the I.R.O. Did not lie. It has, therefore, been rightly dismissed by the Labour Court.
3. There are no grounds for interference with the decision of the Labour Court and the appeal is, therefore, dismissed in limine. 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.
