| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition filed by Faqir Muhammad against the dismissal from Rashid Textile Mills Limited. The petitioner had challenged his dismissal on grounds that he was not provided a copy of the inquiry report at the time of the inquiry. However, both the Labour Appellate Tribunal and the Sindh High Court found that the assertion was incorrect and that the petitioner had indeed received the necessary documents. The Court noted that no question of law was raised, leading to the conclusion that there was no ground for granting leave to appeal. The petition was consequently dismissed. |
