The Labour Appellate Tribunal determined that the inquiry conducted against Muhammad Azam Anjum was defective and insufficient to establish misconduct. The Management's failure to adhere to proper procedures in the inquiry led to the conclusion that the workman should remain in service. The case was remanded back to ensure a fair inquiry process where the respondent would have the opportunity to defend himself adequately. The Tribunal emphasized the importance of due process in industrial disputes, allowing the workman to maintain his rights under the Industrial Relations Ordinance. |
