These Revision Applications under section 38(3‑a) of I.R.O., 1969 calls in question the order of the Labour Court No. VI, Hyderabad declaring the grievance petitions of the applicants to have abated because they became servants of the Corporation and as such they fell within the definition of civil servants under the Civil Servants Act. '
2. Mr. Wahid Bux Shaikh for the workers has admitted that the conductors, drivers, cleaners come within the definition of workers as defined in Schedule 11(1)(n) which are exceptions and are to be regarded as workers and not civil servants within the meaning of Civil Servants Act. Section 2(1)(n) of the Schedule II, Workmen's Compensation Act.
3. Thus with the exception of Akhtar Munir, Junior Clerk all other applicants are not governed by the Civil Servants Act and they fall within the definition of workers under the Workmen's Compensation Act. Their grievance petitions do not abate and the petitions should be heard on merits since they are not affected by the amendment to the Service Tribunals Act. Therefore the cases of applicants 2 to 5 in Revision Petition No. HYD‑197 of 1995 and Muhammad Bux in Revision Petition No. HYD‑234 of 1995 can be heard by the Labour Court as such they are remanded for being decided on merits.
