Judgment & Decree

Application No. 9 of 1975, decided on 28th January 1975. -- Ss. 22(1) & 34-Collective Bargaining Agent-One Labour Union declared by Registrar as Collective Bargaining Agent for two separate establishments-Employer contending that it could not act as such for both establishments-Contention rejected and Labour Court, held, could not interfere with functions of Registrar. A. M. Khan for Petitioner. This is an application under section 34 of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. The petitioner is Muhammad Iqbal, Managing Director, Ghulam Hosiery No.1, Lyallpur. The respondents are the General Secretary of the Labour Union and the Assistant Director Labour Welfare. Ghulam Hosiery was registered as a factory under the Factories Act 1934, in March 1971. It is alleged that it was bifurcated into two units known as Ghulam Hosiery No.1 and No.

2. The workers of both the units formed one Union known as Ghulam Hosiery Labour Union. On 6th January, 1975 a demand notice was served on the employer by the General Secretary of the Union and on 18th January, 1975 a strike notice was also served on the employer. After these notices the Assistant Director, Labour Welfare, took up conciliation proceedings. The grievance of the employer is that one' Union cannot be termed as C. B. A. in respect of two factories. The contention has no force. Under section 22(1) of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969, the Registrar of Trade Union is competent to declare one Union as C.B.A. of one establish ment or group of establishments. In the present case the Registrar declared the Labour Union as C.B.A. for a group of establishments known as Ghulam Hosiery. The Labour Court is not competent to interfere into the function of the Registrar. The petition does not disclose any cause of action. Accordingly, it is hereby dismissed.
