| Decision |
The National Industrial Relations Commission held that it does not have the authority to withdraw a case directly filed before the Labour Court, as it was never seized of the case. The complaint regarding unfair labour practice was filed in the Labour Court and, therefore, the Commission cannot recall the case from the Labour Court to deal with it. The Commission's powers under Section 22-A of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969, only apply to cases that it has referred to the Labour Court for disposal. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the powers of the National Industrial Relations Commission under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969, specifically Section 22-A, which deals with the handling of unfair labour practice complaints. The case was initiated by Taj Mahmood Nasir, representing the Punjab Employees Social Security Union, against the Director of the Punjab Employees Social Security Institution, Faisalabad. The Commission decided that it could not withdraw the case from the Labour Court since it had never been seized of it. This decision underscores the importance of jurisdiction and the procedural hierarchy in industrial relations law. Keywords such as 'Industrial Relations Ordinance', 'unfair labour practice', and 'National Industrial Relations Commission' are critical for understanding the implications of this ruling in the context of labour law and industrial relations. The case highlights the legal framework governing industrial disputes and the procedural rights of workers and unions, making it a significant reference for future cases in similar contexts. |
