| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the appellant was not considered a workman under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. The court found that the appellant, a class II officer, held significant responsibilities that did not align with the definition of a workman. The inquiry was deemed necessary despite the delay in the appellant's response to the charge-sheet, as the management's actions displayed undue haste. The court emphasized the importance of the nature of the appellant's duties, which included managerial responsibilities and powers of attorney, thus excluding him from the workman classification. |
