Syed Inayat Hussain Shah Advocate for the Petitioner.

-------------------------

Muhammad Ali Mazhar, J. – The petitioner has approached this court for challenging his Termination Order dated 24.09.1991 but before approaching this court he filed Grievance Petition No.01 of 2015 before the Sindh Labour Court No.V, Karachi, which was dismissed on the ground of limitation, as admittedly after twenty four (24) years of the termination, the petitioner approached to the learned Labour Court. He filed Appeal No.KAR-20 of 2016 before the learned Labour Appellate Tribunal, Sindh, which was also dismissed.

2. At this stage, after such a long time the petition cannot be entertained. Two courts below have rightly held that grievance petition was hopelessly time barred.

3. At this juncture, learned counsel shown us page 53, which is a table with the names of four (04) persons, who were reinstated by the KPT on some terms and conditions. The petitioner pleads that same treatment may be given to him. He further argued that four (04) persons were appointed directly on their own approach without any court order. The learned counsel for the petitioner has pointed out page 55 of the court file to show that on 08.09.2014, the petitioner was reinstated by the Respondent No.1 on the application filed by the petitioner but petitioner failed to join. We have seen the reinstatement order of the petitioner and if the petitioner wants to join on such terms and conditions mentioned in the letter he may approach to Respondents for some sympathetic consideration. However, the challenge to the orders of Labour Court and Appellate Tribunal is devoid of any merit. Consequently, the petition is dismissed.
