| Decision |
The Peshawar High Court dismissed the constitutional petitions filed by the petitioners against the Labour Appellate Tribunal's decision. The court determined that concessions made by counsel without proper instructions from their clients do not extinguish the rights of the parties involved. The court emphasized that legal rights must be upheld based on applicable laws and factual circumstances, not merely on statements made by counsel. The dismissal was based on the understanding that the rights of the respondents could not be adversely affected by such concessions. The court maintained that the Labour Court's previous rulings should stand as they were justified and legally sound. |
| Summary |
In the case involving the Bank of Khyber and employees seeking regularization, the Peshawar High Court addressed crucial legal principles regarding concessions made by counsel. The court ruled that any statement made by advocates without explicit instructions from their clients is ineffective in altering the legal rights of the parties. This case highlights the importance of proper legal representation and the adherence to procedural justice in labor disputes. The court's decision reinforces the significance of client-counsel communication in legal proceedings, ensuring that rights are not forfeited inadvertently. The ruling serves as a precedent in labor law, emphasizing that courts must rely on the law and facts, rather than unverified assertions by legal representatives. This case is essential for understanding the implications of counsel's actions in legal contexts, especially in labor relations. |
