Brief facts giving rise to this petition are that on 19th May, 74, the then Punjab Transport Minister called a meeting of the high-ups of the Depart--ment and the Unions of the P. R. T. B. whether they were C. B. A. or not. Its minutes were reduced into writing, Parties agreed to withdraw all cases against one another and to further do their duty honestly. It was agreed between the parties that T.
T. 40 would not be issued to a defaulter workman without taking into confidence the respective Union, but these minutes were not signed by the parties. Management never took into confidence the respective Union before issuing T. T. 409 workmen of the petitioner-Union were dismissed from service. Their petitions under section 25-A of I. R. O. and appeals were dismissed. Now Union has come under section 34 of I. R. O. for the enforcement of that Agreement.
2. Notice was issued to the respondent. It has filed its written reply. The petitioner has examined General Secretary of the Union and closed its evidence, whereas Management did not produce any evidence despite oppor--tunity given to it. Arguments of the parties have been heard. Learned counsel for the petitioner has referred me to the definition of the term "Col--lective Agreement" and has tried to make me believe that this Collective Agreement has become part of the West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968 by virtue of sections 3 and 4 of the said Ordinance, so it has got the force of law and is therefore, enforceable under section 34 of I. R. O.
3. I am afraid I cannot agree with this proposition. No corresponding amendment has been made in the Standing Order No. 15 of the said Ordi--nance. Employer has every right under that Standing Order to charge its employee for a misconduct committed by him. At the most it can be sail to be a gentleman's agreement and Management has not honoured its commitment, but it cannot be enforced under section 34 of I. R. O.
4. In that view of the matter, I find, that this petition has no merit it is therefore dismissed.
