DECISION This Revision Application is directed against the order of the Labour Court, Sukkur passed under section 49 of the I.R.O. Directing the case to proceed ex parte against the Railways.
Mr. Shabbir Ahmed Awan has argued that Mr. Mehboob Elahi Malik .Was the Legal Advisor and Advocate for the Railways who had appeared in the case but he was not granted permission to appear because the Pakistan Railways Officer had not appeared in person who had deputed a clerk to produce the documents. There are so many cases in which Railways are party. That if the D.S. Appears personally in all these cases he can do no other work.
3. The ex parte order of the Labour Court is accordingly set aside. The grievance petition may now be heard afresh and both the parties may be allowed to be represented.
4. Case remanded. Orders accordingly.
