| Decision |
The Labour Appellate Tribunal reviewed the complaint filed by Muhammad Waseem Shaikh against Muller and Phipps Pakistan (Pvt.) Ltd. regarding the alleged violation of an agreement concerning the language of correspondence with the workers' union. The Tribunal found that the agreement in question was not in force at the time the complaint was made and noted that there was no evidence of a similar clause in the subsequent agreement. Consequently, the Tribunal determined that the complaint was an abuse of court process, leading to the dismissal of the complaint and the setting aside of the Labour Court's order for summons against the applicant's officers. |
| Summary |
In the case of Muller and Phipps Pakistan (Pvt.) Ltd. vs. Muhammad Waseem Shaikh, the Labour Appellate Tribunal addressed a complaint regarding the alleged breach of a 1985 agreement mandating correspondence in Urdu with the workers' union. The Tribunal concluded that the agreement was not in force, as the subsequent 1989 agreement did not contain a similar clause. The Tribunal dismissed the complaint, citing the absence of a prima facie case and characterizing the complaint as an abuse of court process. The case highlights critical aspects of industrial relations and the importance of adhering to the terms of agreements in labor disputes. |
