| Decision |
The Labour Appellate Tribunal accepted the application for cancellation of the registration of the Association of Officers of Population Planning Council. It was determined that the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969 did not apply to the employees of the Population Planning Department, as they were deemed public servants. The Tribunal ruled that their Association could not be legally registered under the provisions of the Ordinance. The decision emphasized the non-applicability of the Ordinance to public servants and upheld the Registrar's authority to move for cancellation of the registration despite previous registration. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the legal status of the Association of Officers of Population Planning Council, which was registered under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. The Registrar of Trade Unions filed for cancellation of the registration, asserting that the Ordinance did not apply to public servants in the Population Planning Department. The Tribunal ruled in favor of cancellation, noting that the officers were indeed public servants and thus their Association could not be treated as a Trade Union under the law. This decision underscores the limitations of the Industrial Relations Ordinance and its applicability to public sector employees, making it a significant case for understanding labor laws pertaining to government employees in Pakistan. |
