| Decision |
The appeal arose from the Sindh Labour Court's order dismissing the grievance petition filed by the appellant. The appellant claimed to be a worker as defined under the Industrial Relations Ordinance and sought dues amounting to Rs. 142,800 after his verbal termination. The Labour Court dismissed the petition based on a jurisdictional objection, stating that the appellant's rights were not secured under the law. However, upon review, the Labour Appellate Tribunal found that the lower court had not adequately considered the appellant's status as a worker and the merits of his claim. The Tribunal ruled that the grievance petition was maintainable and that the appellant was entitled to his dues, thereby allowing the appeal and setting aside the lower court's order. |
| Summary |
This case involves an appeal to the Labour Appellate Tribunal concerning the dismissal of a grievance petition by an employee, who claimed unpaid dues after his verbal termination from M/s Mumtaz Apparels. The appellant argued that he was a worker under the Industrial Relations Ordinance and entitled to his dues. The initial dismissal by the Sindh Labour Court was based on alleged lack of jurisdiction and failure to demonstrate secured rights. However, the Labour Appellate Tribunal highlighted the need for a thorough examination of the appellant's claims, emphasizing the importance of recognizing workers' rights under the law. The decision ultimately ruled in favor of the appellant, allowing him to recover his dues, thereby reinforcing the legal protections for workers within the framework of the Industrial Relations Ordinance. |
