| Decision |
The Labour Appellate Tribunal set aside the order of the Authority and remanded the matter for reimbursement of the employee's dues within one month. The Tribunal found that the evidence presented by the employer sufficiently proved that all claimed dues, including gratuity, annual leave, and bonuses, had been paid to the employee, Riasat Ali. The Tribunal emphasized that the employee's claims were not substantiated by credible evidence, and the employer's documentary proof was deemed reliable. Hence, the Tribunal concluded that the employee had received all amounts owed to him, leading to the acceptance of the revision petition. |
| Summary |
In this case, the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Punjab addressed a revision petition concerning a claim filed by Riasat Ali under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936. The employee sought payment of dues including gratuity, annual leave, and bonuses, which the employer contested, asserting that all payments had been fulfilled. The Tribunal examined the evidence presented, including documentary proof from both parties. It concluded that the employer had provided substantial evidence proving payment of all claimed amounts. The Tribunal set aside the previous decision of the Authority, which had dismissed the employee's claim, and ordered the reimbursement of the dues within a specified timeframe. This case highlights the importance of documentary evidence in employment disputes and reinforces the standards of proof required in wage-related claims. |
