ORDER

' The allegation against the respondent-Advocate was that he was engaged by the complainant to challenge the order passed by the Punjab Labour Court No, VII, Lahore whereby he was refused allowances amounting to Rs,18,125 but the respondent-Advocate despite having given undertaking did not file any petition. It was further alleged that on account of pursuing this matter and frequently coming to Lahore, the complainant had not only to incure expense but mental torture as well.

2. The respondent-Advocate denies the afore-referred allegations but very fairly concedes that he did accept Rs,500 as initial expense but advised the complainant not to challenge the order as no case was made out. The respondent-Adovcate on a query made by this Tribunal voluntarily offered to A compensate the complainant in terms of which he gave Rs,10,000 which have been readily accepted 'by the complainant. Since the matter has been settled mutually and there is no corroborating evidence in support of either of the parties and as admittedly, there is no other complaint against the respondent-Advocate, we are not inclined to pass any order in this complaint which stands disposed of.
