Judgment & Decree
S.25-A--Grievance notice--Limitation--Dismissal from service--Grievance notice given by worker to employer after eight years of dismissal from service- Worker also not giving date of dismissal of his appeal by department--Grievance notice given by worker was hopelessly time-barred--Grievance notice was dismissed. Appellant in person. Noor Muhammad for Respondents. Date of hearing: 9th May, 199o. This is an appeal against the order of the learned Presiding Officer, Vth Sindh Labour Court, Karachi, dated 28-8-1989, whereby the grievance petition of the appellant was dismissed as time-barred. 2. I have heard the appellant in person and Mr. Noor Muhammad, Advocate for the respondents and have also gone through the record and proceedings of the case. 3. As stated by Mr. Noor Muhammad, learned counsel for the respondents, that the appellant was dismissed by order dated 30-5-1981 and his appeal against the order of his dismissal was rejected on 12-1-1982. The order of the learned Labour Court shows, that the appellant avoided to give the date of dismissal of the appeal, though he admitted to have filed Review Appeal on 3-12-1988. The grievance notice was given on 18-2-1989 after 8 years of the dismissal from service. Under section 25-A of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969 the grievance notice is to be given within three months from the date of cause of action arose. If the departmental appeal is filed the cause of action would arise from the date of departmental appeal is dismissed. The appellant had not given the date of dismissal of the departmental appeal. Under the circumstances either the date of dismissal as stated by Mr. Noor Muhammad, is to be accepted or it may be held that the appeal was not decided at all. Even if the appeal was not decided, aggrieved worker cannot wait indefinitely to take his grievance before the employer. In either cases the grievance notice given on 18-2-1989 was hopelessly time-barred. Therefore, the grievance petition has been rightly dismissed by the learned Labour Court. Appeal is, therefore, dismissed. M.Y.H./1711/Lb.S Appeal dismissed.
