| Decision |
The appeal filed by the appellant against the order of dismissal from service was reviewed. The Labour Appellate Tribunal found that the dismissal was due to victimization linked to the appellant's trade union activities. The tribunal ruled in favor of the appellant, reversing the previous decision and ordering reinstatement in service. The order of dismissal was set aside, emphasizing the need for fair treatment in employment, especially concerning union activities. The tribunal highlighted the lack of substantial evidence against the appellant and the biased nature of the domestic inquiry conducted prior to the dismissal. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the dismissal of an employee, Khalilur Rehman, from Messrs MATRI PUBLICATIONS Ltd. The Labour Appellate Tribunal of Sindh examined the circumstances leading to his dismissal, which was alleged to be a result of victimization due to his active participation in trade unions. The tribunal scrutinized the charge-sheets issued against him for alleged negligence and disobedience. It was determined that the domestic inquiry was biased, lacking in substantial evidence, and that the dismissal was ultimately unjust. The tribunal's decision emphasized the importance of protecting workers' rights, particularly in relation to union activities, ensuring that employees are not unfairly penalized for their involvement in labor representation. The case underscores the legal protections afforded to workers under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, reinforcing the principle that all employees should be treated fairly and justly in the workplace. The tribunal ordered the reinstatement of Khalilur Rehman, thereby restoring his position and affirming his rights as a worker. |
