| Summary |
In the landmark case of Suit No. 85 of 1967, the Sindh High Court addressed the legal complexities surrounding the appointment and tenure of Mr. Rahim Bux P. Munshi as Chairman of the Central Industrial Court. The plaintiff sought recovery of Rs. 55,092.66 as compensation for his deprivation of emoluments during his tenure. The case revolved around the interpretation of the Industrial Disputes Ordinance, 1959, and the constitutional implications following the enactment of the Constitution of 1962. The court ruled that the plaintiff had been appointed for a minimum of three years, thereby underscoring the binding nature of employment contracts in public service. This case highlights the importance of adhering to established terms of employment and the legal obligations of government entities in employment matters. Key issues included the validity of the appointment, the conditions of service, and the authority of the Central Government post-1962 Constitution, making the case significant in labor law jurisprudence. |
