| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed based on two primary grounds. Firstly, it was determined that the Standing Orders did not apply to the Sind Seed Corporation as it is a statutory body run under government authority. Secondly, the grievance notice submitted by the appellant was deemed time-barred, as it was filed long after the required period following the termination of the appellant's services. The court upheld the previous Labour Court's decision, concluding that the grievance petition was not maintainable. |
| Summary |
In the case of HYD-373 of 1982, the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Sindh addressed an appeal concerning the dismissal of an employee, a Store Keeper, from the Sind Seed Corporation. The appellant, after seeking medical treatment, was unable to resume duties and claimed unpaid wages for a specific period. The tribunal concluded that the grievance was not valid due to the corporation being a statutory body under the full control of the government, thus exempt from the Standing Orders. The appeal was dismissed on the grounds of inapplicability of the Standing Orders and the late filing of the grievance notice. This case highlights the complexities surrounding employment laws in statutory bodies and the importance of adhering to procedural timelines in grievance submissions. |
