| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed by the Labour Appellate Tribunal, affirming the decision of the Sindh Labour Court which reinstated the respondent worker. The Tribunal highlighted that the worker was verbally terminated without proper procedures being followed, including the lack of a termination letter or any formal inquiry. The Tribunal found that the establishment's claims were inconsistent and ruled in favor of the worker, reinstating him with back benefits, including bonuses, as per the law. The decision emphasized the need for adherence to the Standing Orders to protect workers' rights. |
| Summary |
In the case of Messrs MEGA AND IN GROUP OF COMPANIE vs. VIJAY ANAND, the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Sindh dealt with the appeal concerning the termination of a permanent employee. The respondent worker claimed that he was verbally terminated without due process, which included the failure to provide a termination letter or conduct an inquiry. The Tribunal upheld the decision of the Sindh Labour Court, which found that the employer violated the Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968, particularly sections 12(3) and 15(4). The ruling reinstated the worker with back pay and bonuses, reaffirming the legal protections afforded to employees under the Industrial Relations Act, 2010.
