| Decision |
The complaint filed under section 53 of the Industrial Relations Ordinance was dismissed due to the delay of approximately ten months in filing the complaint without any satisfactory explanation. The delay raised doubts about the reliability of the complaint which was based on allegations of unfair labor practices. The court highlighted that the absence of a justified reason for the delay not only benefited the accused but also rendered the complaint itself questionable. The argument presented that no limitation was applicable in this case was deemed misleading, as the principles of law dictate that such delays can affect the maintainability of complaints. Consequently, the complaint was dismissed without further proceedings. |
| Summary |
In the case concerning the complaint filed under the Industrial Relations Ordinance regarding allegations of unfair labor practices, the National Industrial Relations Commission ruled on the maintainability of the complaint. The complaint was filed after a significant delay of about ten months, which was deemed unexplained and unjustified, leading to doubts about its credibility. The court emphasized that the principles of law dictate that unexplained delays can compromise the integrity of a complaint, regardless of whether it is a civil or criminal matter. The case references prior rulings that reinforce the importance of timely filings in labor disputes. The decision serves as a critical reminder of the necessity for prompt action in legal proceedings, particularly in labor relations where the timely resolution of disputes is vital for justice and fairness in the workplace. |
