| Decision |
The appeals filed by the petitioners were dismissed due to being barred by time as they were filed after the permissible period of thirty days. The court found that the petitioners were not direct employees of the respondents but were instead subcontracted workers who had been engaged by another company. The evidence presented did not support the claim that the petitioners were employed by the respondents, and thus their appeals were not competent. |
| Summary |
In the case of Appeals Nos. 105 to 127 of 1995, the Labour Appellate Tribunal, Sindh, addressed several appeals concerning employment disputes under the Industrial Relations Ordinance (XXIII of 1969). The primary issue revolved around the competency of the appeals, as they were filed beyond the stipulated time frame of thirty days following the Labour Court's decision. The tribunal noted that the petitioners, who claimed to be employees of M/s. OMEGA FORGING LIMITED, were actually subcontracted workers engaged by M/s. Mumtaz Engineering Company. This lack of direct employment relationship was pivotal in the tribunal's decision to dismiss the appeals. The court emphasized the necessity for proper documentation and evidence proving employment status to substantiate claims under labor law. The case highlights critical aspects of employment law, including the importance of adhering to procedural timelines in filing appeals and the need for clear employment relationships in labor disputes. Keywords such as 'Industrial Relations Ordinance', 'employment disputes', 'labour court appeals', and 'subcontracting issues' are essential for understanding the nuances of this case and its implications within labor law. |
