Hearing Date
Decision The petition filed by the Muslim Commercial Bank was accepted, directing that the two dismissed employees, who were posing as the President and Patron of the trade union, must refrain from such claims. The decision emphasized that under section 27-B of the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962, individuals who are not employees of the bank cannot hold positions within the union, thus validating the petitioner's request to restrain the respondents from claiming any affiliations with the union.
Summary In the case before the National Industrial Relations Commission, the Muslim Commercial Bank sought to restrain two dismissed employees from falsely claiming positions within the M.C.B. Staff Union of Pakistan. The bank contended that these individuals, having been dismissed from service, were inciting unrest among current employees by distributing pamphlets. The Commission found that under the Banking Companies Ordinance, only active employees could hold union positions, thereby ruling in favor of the bank. This case highlights the importance of adherence to labor laws regarding union membership and the legal implications of unfair labor practices.
