The appeals are dismissed. The Labour Court's decision to reinstate Mian Muhammad Ashraf without back benefits was upheld. The court found that the charge-sheet issued against him was by an incompetent authority and that the alleged misconduct was not proven. The respondent did not demonstrate that he was unemployed during the dismissal, which further supported the decision to dismiss the appeals. |

The case highlights critical aspects of employment law, particularly concerning the rights of employees and the procedural requirements for disciplinary actions.
