| Decision |
The petition was rejected as no cause of action had arisen. The petitioner Muhammad Razzaq was not demoted nor had any written order against his interests been passed. The court determined that his training did not imply promotion and returning to his previous job was not a demotion. The petition was dismissed under Order VII, Rule 11 of the Civil Procedure Code. |
| Summary |
In the case of Muhammad Razzaq vs. Ehsanullah Khan, the National Industrial Relations Commission addressed issues related to the demotion of a worker who was asked to return to his prior position after completing a training program. The court found that the worker's return to the previous role did not constitute a demotion. The decision emphasized the importance of written orders regarding employment status and clarified that the absence of such orders negated claims of demotion. The judgment highlighted key aspects of the Industrial Relations Ordinance and Civil Procedure Code, ensuring workers' rights are protected while also upholding the employer's authority in managing training and job assignments. This case serves as a precedent in understanding demotion claims and the necessary conditions for establishing a cause of action in labor disputes. |
