Judgment & Decree
Nemo for Applicants. Khalid Javed for Respondent. Date of hearing: 26th March, 1996. This is an application under section 50 of the I.R.O., 1969 asking this Tribunal to hold that under the settlement in question the workers of Fauji Sugar Mills Tando Muhammad Khan are entitled to benefits mentioned with effect from 1st September, 1993 to 31st August, 1994 and also for the next year from 1st September, 1994 to 31st August, 1995 and to hold that the benefits of the second year are over and above the benefits mentioned in the first year.
2. On perusal of the settlement I find that the package of benefits in each year is the sum total of all benefits granted previously or subsequently and under Part III(a) a uniform increase of Rs.50 has been granted to every permanent worker regardless of his length of his service. The claim is that after giving an increment of Rs.50 for each worker in the first year another increment over and above Rs.50 or an increment of Rs.100 may be given to each worker in the next year. The settlement clearly shows that the benefits during the first year shall remain equal and same for the second year also i.e. Rs.50,00,000 in the first year and the same Rs.50,00,000 in the second year during 1st September, 1993 to 31st August, 1995. It does not say that in the second year the amount will doubled and Rs.100,00,000 will be given as increment to the workers. Since there is not ambiguity in the language of the settlement this Tribunal cannot accede to the request in this Application for awarding the double benefits in the second year. The benefits for these two years shall remain the same.
3. Application is disposed of accordingly. H.B.T.186/Lb.S Appeal dismissed.
