Case Number KAR-246 of 1992
Decision Date Sep 26, 1993
Hearing Date
Decision The appeal was dismissed as the Labour Court found that the employee had resigned of his own free will and volition. The case revolved around the employee's claim of having taken leave due to health issues and the employer's assertion of resignation. The evidence presented indicated that the resignation was legitimate, with the employee failing to provide proof of leave application or approval. The court upheld the Labour Court's findings, affirming that the proceedings initiated by the employee were due to a misunderstanding regarding his monetary entitlements post-resignation. The appeal was ultimately dismissed.
Summary In the case of KAR-246 of 1992, the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Sindh addressed an industrial dispute concerning the resignation of a Boiler Attendant from M.F.M.Y. Industries Ltd. The employee contended that he had taken two months of leave due to health issues but was not permitted to return to work upon reporting back. The employer countered that the employee had voluntarily resigned. The Tribunal examined the evidence, including the employee's age, health condition, and the validity of the resignation letter. It concluded that the employee had indeed resigned and that the grievance petition was barred by time. This case highlights the importance of clear communication regarding employment status and the need for employees to maintain proper documentation when taking leave. Key terms include resignation, industrial disputes, and labour law.
