| Decision |
The Labour Appellate Tribunal found no merit in the application for suo motu revision as the Labour Court had adequately addressed the issue of back benefits. The Tribunal noted that the Labour Court's decision was clear and discussed the issue of back benefits, awarding a specific sum to the informant. The Tribunal concluded that the informant's claims were unfounded and did not warrant revisional powers under the circumstances presented. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the application for suo motu revision filed by Abdul Sattar, a former employee of Gul Ahmad Textile Mills, concerning a Labour Court decision. The Tribunal reviewed the Labour Court's order which set aside Sattar's termination but did not award back benefits. The Tribunal clarified that the Labour Court had indeed addressed the issue of back benefits, awarding a specific amount for a limited duration. The absence of statutory provisions requiring back benefits upon reinstatement was highlighted, leading to the conclusion that the Labour Court's decision was justified. This case underscores the importance of clear legal provisions regarding worker rights and the discretion of Labour Courts in awarding benefits. The decision reinforces the necessity for claimants to present solid grounds for revision applications in labour disputes. |
