| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the Labour Court's decision to reinstate the respondent with back benefits was upheld. The appellant's claim of voluntary resignation was not substantiated with credible evidence. The court highlighted that the respondent's termination was not valid as the resignation documents were not proven, and the evidence presented did not support the appellant's arguments regarding jurisdiction and employee rights. The appeal's dismissal reaffirmed the Labour Court's authority in employment disputes under the applicable laws. |
| Summary |
In the case of GA-113 of 1982, the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Punjab dealt with an appeal regarding an alleged wrongful termination of service under the Industrial Relations Ordinance (XXIII of 1969). The appellant, Kashmir Enterprises Silk Factory, contended that the respondent, Muhammad Younis, had voluntarily resigned. However, the Tribunal found that the evidence supporting the resignation was not credible, particularly in light of signature comparisons and the lack of corroborating witnesses. The decision emphasized the importance of proper procedures and documentation in employment termination cases, reiterating the rights of workers under the law. This case highlights the critical nature of presenting substantiated evidence in legal disputes, especially concerning employment rights, and serves as a significant reference for similar future cases. |
