Judgment & Decree

Musheer Pesh Imam and Malik M. Asghar, Advocates Supreme Court and Muhammad Aslam, Advocate-on-Record (absent) for Appellant (in C.As. Nos. 335 and 336 of 1993). Muhammad Nawaz Abbasi, Advocate Supreme Court and. Ch. Akhtar Ali, Advocate-on-Record for Appellant (in C.As. Nos. 337 and 338 of 1993). Ejaz Muhammad Khan, Advocate-on-Record for the Respondent T&T Department. Imtiaz M. Khan, Advocate-on-Record for Respondent No. l (in C.As. Nos. 337-338 of 1993). It appears from the record that an order dated 7-3-1989 in C.P.D 350/83 was passed by the High Court remanding the case to N.I.R.C. for decision of the appeal on merits after deciding the question of locus standi of Mr. N.A. Baqi Khan providing him opportunity to show as to how he could represent a union, by producing evidence. The other side was also directed to rebut such evidence if so wished. The order of remand has not been complied with and after that on two occassions the appeal has been dismissed for non prosecution on account of failure of Mr. M.A. Baqi Khari to put in his the time of hearing. Grievance is made before us that with the referendum has not been held for last about 15 appearing in these appeals have consented to the Full Bench of three members of N.I.R.C. shall hear the matter in terms of the order of remand dated 7-3-1989 passed by the High Court as mentioned above. For that purpose the date of hearing before N.I.R.C. is fixed as 4-1-1995. It is directed that question of locus standi shall be determined finally regardless of the fact that whether Mr. Baqi Khan appears or not, represented or not at the time of hearing. It is expected that the matter is to be disposed of as per remand order and shall not be dismissed for non-prosecution. If need be the hearing shall be taken in hand day to day till the matter is finally disposed of." The appeals stand disposed of in the terms indicated above. A.A./P-252/S Order accordingly.
