| Decision |
The appeals from the orders of the Fifth Sindh Labour Court, Karachi, which dismissed the grievance petitions under section 25-A of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, were examined. The court found that the grievance petitions were not maintainable as the respondent corporation was registered under the Shops and Establishments Ordinance and employed less than twenty persons. Thus, the I.R.O. and the West Pakistan Standing Orders Ordinance were not applicable. The appellants failed to substantiate their claims regarding their employment status and the number of employees in the corporation. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, and the orders of the lower court were maintained. |
| Summary |
In the case of Zaheeruddin and Mumtaz Hussain vs. Mitsubishi Corporation, the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Sindh addressed the appeals regarding the dismissal of grievance petitions by the Fifth Sindh Labour Court. The core issue revolved around the applicability of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969, and the West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968. The appellants argued their rights to reinstatement after being terminated from their positions as drivers. However, the court ruled that the respondent corporation, employing less than twenty workers, was not governed by the relevant laws. The appellants could not provide sufficient evidence to support their claims regarding employee numbers or their employment status, leading to the decision to dismiss their appeals. This case underscores the importance of proving employment relationships and the applicability of labor laws based on the number of employees within an organization. |
