| Decision |
The petition was dismissed by the Sindh High Court, affirming the decision of the Sind Labour Appellate Tribunal, which had reinstated the respondent following a grievance application concerning misconduct. The court held that the Labour Tribunal had jurisdiction to review all facts of the case and substitute its findings for those of the domestic tribunal. The petitioners failed to demonstrate that the Tribunal's findings were perverse and did not establish that the respondent's mental illness was permanent, thus supporting the reinstatement decision. |
