Appeal No. 220 of 1992 |

| Decision |
The appeal from the order passed by the Punjab Labour Court was dismissed, confirming the reinstatement of the respondent with back benefits. The court held that the termination of the employee was invalid as the provisions of the Standing Orders Ordinance were applicable to the Employees' Old-Age Benefits Institution. The respondent was deemed a permanent workman after satisfactorily completing the probation period, and the termination did not comply with the legal requirements of providing reasons for dismissal as mandated by the Standing Orders. Therefore, the Labor Court's decision to reinstate the employee was upheld. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the termination of an employee from the Employees' Old-Age Benefits Institution and the subsequent appeal regarding the maintainability of his grievance petition. The key legal principles involved include the applicability of the Industrial Relations Ordinance and the Standing Orders Ordinance to the institution. The tribunal ruled that the institution was functioning as an 'industry' and was therefore subject to the relevant labor laws. The employee's termination was deemed unlawful due to a lack of proper procedure and failure to provide adequate notice or reason for dismissal. The case highlights crucial aspects of employment law, including the rights of probationary employees and the obligations of employers to adhere to statutory regulations. This decision serves as a critical reference for future cases involving labor disputes in similar contexts. |
