Judgment & Decree
This purports to be an application on behalf of the Pakistan Railways for invoking the sue motu revisional powers of this Tribunal under sub section (3‑a) of section 38, I. R. O., in respect of an appellate order passed by the learned VIth Labour Court at Hyderabad on 10th Decem ber, 1980, under section 17 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936.
2. Neither any one from the Railways nor their learned counsel who has filed this information, is present.
3. It was pointed out by this Tribunal in the case of National Cement industries v. Dr, Miss Akhtar Jamal (1980 P L Q 282), that subsection (3) of section 38, I. R. O., confers revisional powers on this Tribunal only in respect of proceedings taken and orders passed by the Labour Courts under the I. R. O., but as appeals under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, are not decided by the Labour Courts under the provisions of the I. R. O., but under the former Act, the sue motu powers of revision of this Tribunal do not extend or cover the appellate orders passed by the Labour Courts under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936.
4. In view of the aforesaid decision, this Tribunal clearly has no jurisdiction in the matter. Accordingly no proceedings by way of exercise of sue motu revisional powers under subsection (3‑a) of section 38, I. R. O. can be initiated by this Tribunal.
