S.25-A

Grievance petition

Limitation

Appellant was removed from service on 11-1-1989, whereas he served grievance notice upon respondent employer on 17-5-1989

Appellant stating that his services were terminated on 20-2-1989 therefore his grievance notice was within time

Document filed by appellant alongwith grievance petition showing that he was removed on 10-1-1989

Such document was produced by appellant himself and it had come from his possession and therefore it would be presumed to be correct

Held, grievance notice dated 17-5-1989 was obviously time-barred and same having been filed beyond period of three months was rightly dismissed as time-barred. S. Fasahat Hussain Rizvi for Appellant. Rafiq Ahmad, A.-G.P. for Respondents. Date of hearing: 20th January, 1991. This is an appeal against the order of learned Presiding Officer, Sindh Labour Court No. VI at Hyderabad, dated 9-5-1990; whereby the grievance petition of the appellant was dismissed on the ground that it was time-barred.

2. I have heard Mr. S. Fasahat Hussain Rizvi, the learned Advocate for the appellant and Mr. Rafiq Ahmad, A.-G.P. for the respondents and have also gone through the record and proceedings of the case.

3. The appellant was removed from service on 11-1-1989, vide order, dated 12-1-1989. Whereas, he served grievance notice upon the respondents on 17-5-1989. The case of the appellant is that his services were terminated on 20-2-1989, therefore, the notice was within time. Annexure `A/1' which was filed by the appellant alongwith his grievance petition shows that he was removed from service on 10-1-1989. This is the document produced by the appellant himself and it has come from the possession of the appellant. As such, it would be correct. Grievance notice, dated 17-5-1989 is obviously time- barred as it is beyond the period of 3 months as prescribed under section 25-A of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. The learned Labour Court has, therefore, rightly held that the grievance petition is time-barred. I see no merit in this appeal which is accordingly dismissed. M.Y.H./1844/Lb.S Appeal dismissed.
