Ashraf Hussain Rizvi for Appellant. Date of hearing: 22nd December, 1996. These are five connected applications for re-hearing. There were in all seven appeals of similar nature by Bawany Sugar Mills against their worker. Two of the workers were served while the remaining five workers could not be served personally for want of detailed address. Service was, therefore, ordered by publication. The notice was published in Urdu daily Qaumi Akhbar Publication from Karachi. The matter was then heard and disposed of. A Constitutional petition against the decision is said to have been preferred before the Hon'ble High Court of Sindh and the matter is said to be pending and has not so far been heard in that Court. During the pendency of the petition, this application has again been filed before the Labour Appellate Tribunal for re-hearing. There is no revision in the I.R.O. for re-hearing a decided matter, specially when the matter is now subjudice before the High Court.

2. This application for re-hearing is, therefore, dismissed in limine. H.B.T./238/Lb.S Application dismissed.
