Judgment & Decree

Constitutional Petition No.S‑52 of 1986, decided on 20th May, 1986. ‑‑Ss.15 & 17‑‑Constitution of Pakistan (1973), Art. 199‑‑Constitutional jurisdiction‑‑Evidence, appreciation of‑‑High Court in constitutional jurisdiction, held, could not go into appreciation of evidence which had already been appreciated by forums below. Muhammad Majeed Jeelani for Petitioner. Date of hearing: 20th May, 1986. The only point urged by Mr. Muhammad Majeed Jeelani is that the evidence produced in the case has not been properly assessed either by the Authority under the Payment of Wages Act or the Labour Court which acted as Appellate Authority under the said Act.

2. The contention raised seems to be completely misconceived as in the exercise of Constitutional Jurisdiction, this Court cannot go into appreciation of evidence as the same has already been appreciated by two forums below. There is, therefore, no substance in this petition and it is hereby dismissed in limine. M. Y. H / S‑3 / K Petition dismissed.
