| Decision |
The appeal was directed against a decision from 13-9-1988, where the respondent was reinstated with back benefits after being removed for habitual late coming. The tribunal held that the respondent, a hanks checker, performed manual work and did not possess supervisory powers as defined under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. The evidence provided did not substantiate claims of habitual late coming or supervisory duties, leading to the conclusion that the respondent was indeed a workman and was wrongfully dismissed. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the classification of the respondent as a workman under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. The Labour Appellate Tribunal of Punjab evaluated the evidence surrounding the respondent's role as a hanks checker and the allegations of habitual late coming. The tribunal emphasized the importance of documentary evidence over oral claims, ultimately determining that the respondent's duties were manual in nature, thereby qualifying him as a workman. The ruling reinforces the legal definitions and protections afforded to workers, particularly in industrial relations, and highlights the tribunal's commitment to due process in labor disputes. This case is significant for understanding labor rights and the legal framework governing industrial relations. Keywords such as 'Industrial Relations', 'workman classification', and 'labor rights' are crucial for relevance in this domain. |
