Judgment & Decree

Bashir Awan for Applicant. Naamatullah J. Qureshi for Respondents. Date of hearing: 14th January, 1990. DECISION This is Revision Application against the order of learned Sindh Labour Court No. VI at Hyderabad dated i1-10-1986, allowing the appeal filed by the respondent against the order of the learned Authority Under the Payment of Wages Act, dated 29-9-1985.

2. I have heard Mr. Bashir. Awan, Advocate for the applicant and Mr. Naamatullah, J. Qureshi learned counsel for the respondents.

3. The only point that requires consideration is whether the respondents are `factory' as defined under `Factories Act' so as to attract the applicability of the Payment of Wages Act. It appears that no evidence had been led by any of the parties on this point, which is a question of fact. It is fair and proper that they should be allowed to lead evidence. Therefore, by consent of the parties the order of the learned Labour Court as well as that of the learned Authority under the Payment of Wages Act are set aside and the case is remanded back to the learned Authority to decide it on merit after allowing the parties to adduce evidence on the question as to whether the respondent is a factory as defined in the Factories Act and whether the Payment of Wages Act is applicable to the present case. M.Y.H./1627/Lb.S Case remanded.
