| Decision |
The appeal from the order of the Labour Court No. VII at Sukkur reinstating the petitioner on an application under section 25A of the I.R.O. with full back benefits was examined. The petitioner, initially appointed as Assistant Cashier and later promoted to Senior Cashier, faced allegations of misappropriation and misconduct. Following an enquiry, he was dismissed from service. The Labour Court reinstated him, but upon appeal, the Tribunal noted the serious nature of the misconduct, including misappropriation of funds and failure to maintain the integrity expected from a bank employee. The Tribunal ultimately set aside the Labour Court's order, concluding that the dismissal was justified and well-merited, thus allowing the appeal. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the dismissal of an employee, Durban Ali Channa, from the National Bank of Pakistan for serious misconduct, including misappropriation of funds and other unethical activities. The Labour Court initially ruled in favor of the employee, reinstating him with full back benefits. However, upon appeal, the Labour Appellate Tribunal found that the employee's actions were incompatible with the ethical standards expected of bank personnel. The Tribunal emphasized the importance of maintaining trust and integrity in banking institutions, leading to the dismissal being deemed justified. This case highlights the rigorous standards of conduct required in the banking sector and the legal implications of failing to adhere to these standards. |
