| Decision |
The appeals filed by Asghar Ali and Muhammad Hanif against the decisions of the Punjab Labour Court No. 2 were dismissed. The court ruled that the claim for 55% running allowance, which was denied due to their reclassification as Shedmen, was considered time-barred. The argument that the refusal of the allowance constituted a continuing wrong was rejected, establishing that the cause of grievance arose at the time the allowance was denied. Therefore, any grievance notices served beyond the three-month limitation were invalid, leading to the dismissal of both appeals. |
| Summary |
In the case presented before the Labour Appellate Tribunal, Punjab, Asghar Ali and Muhammad Hanif, former drivers of Pakistan Railways, appealed against the denial of a 55% running allowance after being reclassified as Shedmen. The tribunal addressed the legal intricacies surrounding grievance notices and the concept of continuing wrongs under the Industrial Relations Ordinance (XXIII of 1969). The court concluded that the refusal of the running allowance was a final decision, thus establishing a time limit for grievance actions. This decision highlights critical aspects of labor law, including the interpretation of grievance timelines and the rights of railway employees. Such cases underscore the importance of understanding labor rights, grievance procedures, and the legal obligations of employers. Trending keywords in labor law and employee rights are essential for enhancing visibility and engagement in legal discussions. |
