| Decision |
The appeal filed by the appellant against the impugned order dated 5-6-1983, dismissed by the Sind Labour Court No. VI Hyderabad, was reviewed. The appellant, engaged as a salesman on a commission basis, was found not to be a 'workman' under the Industrial Relations Ordinance and therefore could not maintain a grievance petition under section 25-A. The appellant had been absent without authorization for over ten days and had failed to justify his absence or participate in the domestic enquiry. Consequently, the dismissal from service was upheld as justified, and the appeal was dismissed with no reasons to interfere with the original order. |
| Summary |
In the case before the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Sindh, the appellant, a salesman for Messrs Muhammad Farooq Ahmad Co. Ltd., filed an appeal against the dismissal of his grievance petition by the Sind Labour Court. The appellant was absent from work for an extended period and had sought leave due to his mother's illness. However, he failed to provide satisfactory justification for his absence or participate in the domestic enquiry. The tribunal upheld the lower court's ruling, stating that the appellant was not classified as a 'workman' under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, thus ineligible to file a grievance petition. This case highlights the importance of adhering to workplace regulations and the potential consequences of unauthorized absence. Key legal terms include 'grievance petition,' 'unauthorized absence,' and 'dismissal procedures,' which remain relevant in discussions of labor law and employee rights. |
