| Decision |
The appeal was accepted, and the decision of the learned Presiding Officer of the Punjab Labour Court No. 5, Faisalabad, dated 25th October 1982 was set aside. The grievance petition for reinstatement was deemed not time-barred as the necessary documentation was not proven to have been served to the appellant. The Tribunal directed the reinstatement of the appellant with 50% back benefits due to the failure of the Labour Court to adequately examine evidence regarding the service of the charge-sheet and other documents. |
| Summary |
In the case SG-686 of 1982, the Labour Appellate Tribunal, Punjab, addressed a significant matter regarding the dismissal of an employee due to alleged misconduct, specifically misappropriation of funds and materials. The case revolved around the procedural aspects of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969, particularly sections 25-A and 38(3). The appellant contested the dismissal, claiming that the charge-sheet and other related documents were never served to him, which was crucial for the legal process.
