This case revolves around an industrial dispute concerning the registration of the Alhaq Workers Union.

The court highlighted the importance of conducting inquiries in the presence of relevant representatives to ensure fairness and due process. The decision emphasizes the right of the union to be heard and requires the Registrar to hold a fresh inquiry with proper representation from the union. This case underscores the significance of procedural fairness in labor law and the rights of trade unions in Pakistan. |
