' This is a Revision Application under section 38(3-a) of the I.R.O. whereby the order dated 19th May, 1998 has been challenged.
2. The grievance of the applicants is that in the Reply Statement to the Application filed by the respondent under section 51 of the I.R.O. they had taken certain Legal Objections wherein inter alia, it has been stated that the learned Labour Court has no jurisdiction to entertain the Application under section 51 of I.R.O., 1969 for computing the alleged short amount of the pension claimed by the respondent inasmuch as the pre-condition for the maintainability of Application under section 51 of the I.R.O., 1969 as the existence of any "Decision, Award or Settlement" by an Arbitrator, Labour Court and Tribunal which is completely lacking in the present case. As already held by me in Revision Applications No, KAR-269 of 1998, KAR-270 of 1998, KAR-271 of 1998 Muslim Commercial Bank Limited v. Ali Ahmed, Muslim Commercial Bank Limited v. Ghansham Das, Muslim Commercial Bank Limited v. Muhammad Khan, decided on 18-12-1998. In this view of the matter while setting aside the impugned order dated 19th May, 1998 the learned 5th Labour Court is directed to hear and decide the question of law as raised in paragraph 2 of the Reply Statement filed by the applicants/respondent. Since the matter pertains to the jurisdiction to determine the quantum of pension it will be appreciated that the learned Court should decide this case as early as possible.
' Announced in open Court this the 26th day of January 1999.
