1. DECISION ' This appeal is directed against the order of Sindh Labour Court No,IV, Karachi dismissing an application by the worker that the wages be paid in cash and not by cheque and the Court attendance of a worker should be regarded as duty and no leave for the purpose would be required.
2. 2 The questions raised by the worker are not included in the grievance contemplated under section 25-A of the I.R.O. These are rather academic questions and the Labour Court has no jurisdiction to entertain such applications of the workers. That the wages are paid by cheque and not by cash is not a grievance which can be redressed under section 25 of the I.R.O. During these days of ,insecurity, the only proper course. For payment is by cheque and the workers should train themselves to accept transactions through the Banks. There is no law under which they should be paid by cash. As for the Court attendance which causes absence from work, the worker has to obtain the leave for the day. The Court attendance being optional and not compulsory. This is also not a grievance which falls under section 25-A of the I.R.O. The case does not fall under any Law, award or settlement. The grievance petition was, thus, rightly rejected by the Labour Court and I can find no ground for interference.
3. 3 There is no substance in this appeal which is accordingly dismissed. 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.
