| Decision |
The petition filed under section 25-A of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969 by the applicant against the respondent's establishment was dismissed. The court determined that the grievance notice submitted by the applicant was not valid as it was received before the close of working hours on the day of his retirement. The applicant's claim regarding his age at the time of retirement was found to be inconsistent with the records he provided, which indicated he had declared a different age upon his employment. The court upheld the right of the employer to fix a retirement age after the nationalization of the establishment, affirming that the retirement order was valid and lawful. |
