| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed in favor of the respondent, Mir Abdul Sattar Talpur. The Labour Court had determined that the respondent was a 'workman' under the relevant laws and had been wrongfully dismissed without sufficient proof of the allegations against him. The court also awarded him full back benefits as the employer failed to establish that the respondent was not jobless during the period of dismissal. The decision upheld the principles of labor rights, emphasizing the protection of employees against unjust termination. |
| Summary |
In the case of Allied Bank of Pakistan Ltd. vs. Mir Abdul Sattar Talpur, the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Sindh addressed an industrial dispute concerning the wrongful dismissal of an employee. The tribunal found that the respondent, Mir Abdul Sattar Talpur, qualified as a 'workman' under labor laws, despite the employer's claims to the contrary. The tribunal's ruling highlighted the lack of managerial powers held by the employee, affirming his status and entitlement to back benefits due to the unproven charges of fraud leading to his dismissal. This case underscores the importance of due process in employment termination and the rights of employees to seek redress against unjust actions by employers. The decision also referenced previous judgments to support the entitlement of the employee to full back benefits, reinforcing labor rights in Pakistan. |
