Case Number KAR-281 of 1982
Decision Date Jul 11, 1982
Hearing Date Jul 11, 1982
Decision This appeal was directed against a decision dismissing the grievance petition of the appellant regarding his termination. The appellant was unable to provide adequate evidence that he was a workman under the applicable laws. His claims regarding the applicability of the West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment Ordinance were not substantiated, as he failed to demonstrate that the companies involved were part of the same establishment or that the requisite number of employees was present. The appeal was thus dismissed due to lack of merit.
Summary The case revolves around the grievance petition filed by Muhammad Ramzan against the termination of his services by Messrs Pakistan Paper Products Limited. The appellant claimed that the termination was unjust and sought redress under the applicable labor laws. However, the appeal was dismissed due to procedural deficiencies, including the failure to serve a timely grievance notice and lack of evidence to prove his status as a workman under the relevant ordinances. The decision highlights the importance of adhering to legal requirements in labor disputes and the implications of not providing sufficient evidence to support claims.
