| Decision |
This appeal arises from the decision recorded by the learned Presiding Officer, Punjab Labour Court No.5, Faisalabad, whereby the grievance petition of the appellant for his re-instatement in service was dismissed. The case revolves around whether a departmental appeal or a revision petition can be treated as a valid grievance notice. The appellant urged that his appeal be treated as a grievance notice. The grievance petition was dismissed without affording any opportunity to the appellant to produce evidence. The appeal was accepted, setting aside the impugned decision and remanding the case back for re-decision. The objections raised by the respondents may be pressed before the learned lower Court. |
