| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petition for leave to appeal filed by Nazar Muhammad against the decision of the Labour Appellate Tribunal. The Labour Appellate Tribunal had upheld the termination of the petitioner’s services based on evidence that indicated disorderly conduct towards a fellow worker and a supervisor. The High Court refused to interfere in the Tribunal's decision, stating that there was no violation of rules or misappreciation of evidence. The petitioner’s arguments regarding being a target of trade union activities were not substantiated by any evidence that warranted a review of the Tribunal's findings. The dismissal of the petition was based on the lack of credible evidence to support the petitioner's claims of wrongful termination. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the dismissal of Nazar Muhammad from Messrs Marker Alkaloids due to reported disorderly conduct. The Labour Appellate Tribunal found the evidence against him credible and upheld his termination. The High Court's refusal to intervene was grounded in the absence of any alleged violations of procedural rules or misapprehension of the evidence presented. The case highlights the importance of substantiating claims in labor disputes and the judicial system's role in maintaining order based on established facts. The Supreme Court's decision reinforces the legal principles surrounding labor relations and the authority of appellate tribunals in adjudicating such matters. For individuals engaged in labor relations, this case serves as a critical reference point for understanding the legal context of employee conduct and the ramifications of disciplinary actions taken by employers. |
