The petitioner, Yasir Amin Janjua, presented a claim for unpaid salaries and gratuity before the Implementation Tribunal for Newspaper Employees. The case was decided in favor of the petitioner because the respondent, Daily News Mart, failed to appear for the hearings despite multiple notices. The petitioner claimed a total of Rs. 350,000 for unpaid salaries and gratuity due to non-payment of salary arrears for five months. The Tribunal found the petitioner entitled to the claimed amount as no rebuttal was provided by the respondent. The decision ordered the respondent to pay the petitioner within thirty days and submit a compliance report. |
