| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the order of the learned Labour Court reinstating the respondent did not require interference. The learned Presiding Officer of the VIth Sind Labour Court had allowed the grievance petition on the grounds that the appellants' witness did not appear for cross-examination, leaving the respondent's case unchallenged. The appellants admitted they had not removed the respondent from service and were intending to conduct an inquiry based on the charges against him. The court directed the appellants to complete the inquiry within three months, with the payment of back benefits to the respondent contingent upon the inquiry's outcome. |
| Summary |

The core issues revolved around the respondent's alleged unauthorized absence from work and subsequent charge sheet issued by the appellants. The court found that the Labour Court's decision to reinstate the respondent was justified, as the appellants failed to present their witness for cross-examination, leading to an unchallenged case in favor of the respondent. The court emphasized the necessity for a proper inquiry to be conducted by the appellants to resolve the underlying issues. This case highlights important aspects of labor law, grievance procedures, and the rights of employees in Pakistan.
