| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the Labour Court found that the number of employees working with the respondent firm was under twenty, hence the provisions of the Standing Orders Ordinance did not apply. The appellant, who had worked as a Clerk for twenty-four years, could not substantiate his claim that there were more than twenty employees. The evidence presented, including attendance records, indicated otherwise. The Tribunal concluded that the respondents had fulfilled their obligations under the relevant ordinances, and thus the appeal lacked merit. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the applicability of the West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance M of 1968 regarding the termination of an employee's services due to the reorganization of the employer's office. The appellant, who had been employed for 24 years, claimed wrongful termination, asserting that the number of employees exceeded twenty, which would invoke the provisions of the Ordinance. However, the Labour Court found that the actual number of employees was below the threshold, as evidenced by attendance records and testimonies. The Tribunal upheld the Labour Court's decision, emphasizing the importance of accurate employee counts in determining the applicability of employment laws. This case highlights critical aspects of labor law, employee rights, and the legal framework governing employment contracts, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements.
