| Decision |
The court dismissed the writ petitions filed by the petitioners, finding no jurisdictional defects in the actions taken by the Railway Administration. The petitioners had been absent from their duties for a continuous period of over five years after their posts were abolished, and thus ceased to be employees. The court noted that the petitioners failed to comply with a compromise agreement reached with the Railway Administration, which required them to join alternate posts. As a result, the notices issued by the employer regarding their cessation of employment were deemed valid. The decision reinforced the importance of compliance with agreements in industrial disputes, particularly in the context of employment law. |
| Summary |
In this case, the Lahore High Court addressed an industrial dispute involving the petitioners, who were Vanporters rendered surplus after the abolition of their category. The dispute arose from a compromise agreement reached on November 30, 1981, which mandated the absorption of the petitioners into alternate posts. However, the petitioners failed to join these posts and remained absent for more than five years, leading to their cessation of employment. The court emphasized the significance of adhering to compromise agreements in labor disputes and the consequences of prolonged absence from duty. The decision serves as a precedent in employment law, highlighting the responsibilities of employees in such circumstances. Keywords such as 'industrial dispute', 'employment law', 'compromise agreement', and 'absence from duty' are relevant in this context, reflecting trending issues within labor relations. |
