| Decision |
This appeal concerns the termination of Muhammad Akram's services as a permanent workman by the District Manager of S. R. T. C., Karachi. The Labour Court had ordered his reinstatement, concluding that the termination was unjustified due to the lack of a charge-sheet, inquiry, or show-cause notice. The Appellate Tribunal found no reason to overturn this order, noting that the respondent had applied for leave and was wrongfully dismissed without proper procedure. Therefore, the dismissal was set aside, and reinstatement was deemed fully justified. |
| Summary |
The case revolves around an industrial dispute regarding the termination of Muhammad Akram, a permanent employee at S. R. T. C. The Labour Court ruled in favor of Akram, ordering his reinstatement due to the improper termination process. The case highlights the importance of adhering to legal protocols in employment matters, specifically the necessity for a charge-sheet and inquiry before dismissal. This ruling reinforces the protections afforded to permanent employees under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. Key terms include 'industrial dispute', 'termination of service', and 'reinstatement', which are crucial for understanding employee rights in labor law contexts. This case serves as a precedent for similar disputes and emphasizes the legal obligations of employers in disciplinary actions. |
