DECISION ' There were four separate grievance petitions before the Labour Court. The Labour Court tried these cases separately recorded the evidence also separately in each case. The Court has examined defence evidence only in the case of one respondent and used the same in all the four cases which have been decided by a common judgment.
2. Either the cases should have been amalgamated and decided according to the common evidence or else the evidence of one case could not be considered as evidence in the other cases tried separately.
3. For the above reason the judgment in the four petitions is set aside and the cases are remanded to the Sixth Sindh Labour Court at Hyderabad for retrial either separately or after all the cases are joined together for been heard as one case at the joint trial. No opinion is expressed on merits and the Labour Court is at liberty to decide the matter on facts and law applicable to these cases.
