| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed due to the appellant's unauthorized absence from work after the expiration of his sanctioned leave. The tribunal found that the appellant failed to provide sufficient grounds for his absence and did not participate in the domestic inquiry regarding his dismissal. The court upheld the employer's decision, stating that the appellant had already availed of the maximum allowable leave and did not have grounds to claim additional leave based on unspent annual holidays. The tribunal noted that the appellant's medical certificates lacked credibility and that his claims of illness were unsubstantiated. |
| Summary |
In the case of Z. A. CHANNA vs MESSERS GLOBE TEXTILE MILLS LTD., the Labour Appellate Tribunal, Sindh, addressed the issue of unauthorized leave taken by an employee after the expiration of sanctioned leave. The appellant, Z. A. CHANNA, claimed that he was entitled to additional leave based on unspent annual holidays accrued over several years. However, the tribunal ruled that the applicable laws, particularly the West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment Ordinance and the Factories Act, limited the total leave that could be carried forward. The tribunal emphasized the importance of adhering to proper leave application procedures and found that the appellant's failure to report for duty and participate in the inquiry led to his dismissal. The case highlights the significance of understanding employee rights regarding leave and the obligations of both employees and employers in maintaining workplace standards. |
