1. ' This is an appeal preferred against an order dated 20th November 1975, passed by the learned Presiding Officer, Junior Labour Court, Rawalpindi on a petition made to that Court under section 25-A of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969, for re-instatement.

2. ' Respondent is a permanent employee. His services were terminated for the reason that be has eczema on his foot. He does the job of Motor winding and that is done by him by hands. Eczema is not a contagious disease, and services of a permanent employee could not be dispensed with except after enquiry for a misconduct.

3. ' Learned counsel for the appellant has contended that petition was time-barred. Respondent gave a grievance notice which is on the file. It is dated 2nd September 1975. Grievance notice appears to have been typed on 20th August 1975. This date has been interpolated and it cannot be said A as to who did it. If 20th August 1975 is taken to be a correct date the petition was well within time.

4. Moreover there is no limitation for void order. So impugned order is maintained and appeal is dismissed.
