| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petition for special leave to appeal filed by Muhammad Yaqoob against the decision of the Punjab Labour Appellate Tribunal. The Court found no merit in the arguments presented regarding the limitation period, stating that both the appellate authority and the High Court had thoroughly examined the question of limitation. The Court upheld the previous rulings, concluding that the petitioner was aware of his termination and had not acted in a timely manner to seek legal remedy. Thus, the decision not to grant leave to appeal was deemed appropriate. |
| Summary |
In the case of Muhammad Yaqoob vs. The Pioneer Steel Mills, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed issues surrounding employment termination and appeals in labor disputes. Muhammad Yaqoob, a security inspector, contested the termination of his services, which was initially ruled in his favor by the Punjab Labour Court but later overturned by the Punjab Labour Appellate Tribunal. The Supreme Court's ruling emphasized the importance of adhering to limitation periods in legal proceedings, ultimately dismissing the petition for special leave to appeal. This case highlights the procedural rigor required in labor law disputes and the critical role of timely legal action. The judgment reinforces the principle that courts will uphold decisions made by lower tribunals unless substantial grounds for appeal are established.
