8.6.2001, Joint Director Labour Welfare, D.G. Khan Region
will hold meeting of management and C.B.A. Union so as to
solve the issue of reinstatement of Rasheed Akbar the

at the time of privatisation of Power House and cannot be subject
matter of Charter of Demand. Other demands related to terms and
conditions of service of workmen employed in the petitioner

6. That in order to get accepted the illegal demands mentioned in


the impugned charter of demands, respondent union is
pressurising the management by illegal means and is disturbing
