Human Rights Case No. 681 of 1992 |

| Decision |
The petition filed by Haji Muhammad Akram, a former Canteen Supervisor at PIA, was dismissed as incompetent. The court found that the National Industrial Relations Commission had recommended the petitioner's reinstatement; however, the Authority refused to implement this recommendation. The grounds for refusal included the petitioner's age and the fact that he had already received all dues under the 'golden hand shake' policy approximately ten years prior. The court concluded that there was no significant case of human rights violation or urgency that warranted the petition's acceptance. |
| Summary |
In the Supreme Court of Pakistan's Human Rights Case No. 681 of 1992, the petitioner, Haji Muhammad Akram, contested his removal from service by PIA under Martial Law Order No. 52 in 1982. The case revolves around the interpretation of the Industrial Relations Ordinance and the constitutional provisions regarding human rights. The National Industrial Relations Commission had previously recommended Akram's reinstatement, but the PIA rejected this on the basis of Akram's age and prior compensation. The court ruled that Akram's case did not demonstrate a violation of human rights that warranted judicial intervention, thus dismissing the petition. This case is significant for understanding the jurisdiction of labor relations bodies and the application of human rights laws in employment disputes. |
