| Decision |
The appeal was filed against an order by the Sind Labour Court that had dismissed the grievance petition of the appellant, an employee of the National Bank of Pakistan. The appellant argued that the dismissal was not justified due to improper domestic inquiry and belated charge-sheet. The court found that the domestic inquiry did not follow the required legal principles, and the evidence did not substantiate the misconduct claimed against the appellant. The appeal was allowed, the Labour Court's order was set aside, and the appellant was reinstated with full back benefits. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the wrongful dismissal of an employee from the National Bank of Pakistan. The appellant, who served as a Senior Head Cashier, was dismissed following a charge-sheet that was questioned for its legality and timeliness. The Labour Appellate Tribunal scrutinized the domestic inquiry process and determined that it did not adhere to established legal standards. The tribunal ultimately ruled in favor of the appellant, emphasizing the importance of due process in employment law. This case highlights the critical aspects of labor rights and the legal frameworks governing employment dismissals, making it a significant reference for similar cases in the future. Keywords such as 'employment law', 'wrongful dismissal', 'labor rights', and 'due process' are trending topics and essential for legal discussions. |
