| Decision |
The Labour Appellate Tribunal dismissed the petition filed by Munawar Hussain against the dismissal order by Messrs Indus Textile Mills Ltd. The Tribunal found that the charge of misconduct, specifically assault on the Head Jobber, was proven through an ex parte domestic enquiry. The Tribunal held that the petitioner had not provided sufficient evidence to support his claims regarding the timing and nature of suspension letters, nor did he demonstrate that he was denied a fair opportunity to defend himself during the enquiry. The dismissal was deemed justified as the petitioner had committed serious misconduct, and thus, the court found no grounds for interference. |
