| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as time-barred due to the delay in filing the application for a copy of the impugned order. The evidence presented indicated that the application for the copy was made after the expiry of the limitation period, which is critical in such appeals. The court relied on the register of applications to determine the actual date the application was submitted. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the decision made by the Punjab Labour Court No. 6, Rawalpindi, which had accepted the grievance petition of respondent No. 1 and declared him senior to respondent No. 2, along with directions for promotion consideration. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the procedural aspects of filing an appeal under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. The core issue was the timeliness of the appeal, which was contested by the respondents. The Labour Appellate Tribunal emphasized the importance of adhering to prescribed timelines and the implications of submitting applications for copies of judgments within those limits. The court scrutinized the evidence, including witness testimonies and the application register, to ascertain the accurate date of application submission. The decision reinforces the legal principle that failure to comply with procedural requirements can result in dismissal of appeals, thus highlighting the necessity for legal practitioners to ensure compliance with deadlines in labor law cases. Key terms such as 'time-barred appeals,' 'Industrial Relations Ordinance,' and 'legal compliance' are critical for understanding the implications of this judgment. |
