| Decision |
The Labour Appellate Tribunal held that the Labour Court's order to close the case due to the petitioner's failure to produce evidence was upheld. The Tribunal noted that while the petitioner claimed witnesses were on their way, no formal request was made to the Labour Court to delay the proceedings. The Tribunal emphasized the importance of following proper procedures in such cases and indicated that sufficient opportunities had been granted to the petitioner to present their evidence. However, the Tribunal directed the Labour Court to accept any documents that could be tendered in evidence if they met the admissibility criteria. |
