| Decision |
The Labour Appellate Tribunal dismissed the grievance petition filed by Tabassum Sultana against her termination from I.M.T. Associated Tractors Ltd. The Tribunal found that the termination was valid as the petitioner had submitted a conditional resignation which was accepted after her pay was increased. The Tribunal noted that there was no evidence of victimization or any unlawful termination practices. The decision emphasized that the petitioner did not provide sufficient proof of verbal assurances regarding pay increases and that her resignation was clear and unconditional. Therefore, the termination was upheld, and the grievance petition was dismissed. |
