| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the Labour Court's decision to accept the grievance petition was upheld. The respondent, Manzoor Hussain, was wrongfully re-categorized from a conductor to a clerk without consent, leading to a loss of commission. The court found that the grievance notice was filed within the appropriate time frame, and the argument regarding the initial recruitment as a clerk was insufficient to deny the respondent's claim. The appeal was dismissed in limine. |
| Summary |
In the case of Punjab Road Transport Corporation vs. Manzoor Hussain, the Labour Appellate Tribunal addressed the wrongful re-categorization of an employee from conductor to clerk. The Industrial Relations Ordinance was central to the case, particularly sections 25-A and 38(3), which pertain to grievance petitions and employee rights. The tribunal upheld the Labour Court's decision to reappoint Hussain as a conductor, emphasizing the importance of consent in job reassignments and the right to fair compensation. This case highlights critical aspects of labor rights and employee grievance handling, making it relevant for labor law practitioners and organizations. It serves as a precedent for similar cases where employee rights may be violated through improper job reassignments. |
