| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the lower court's decision to allow a fresh inquiry was upheld. The court ruled that the dismissal order made by the Technical Director was valid, as the Factory Manager had been declared as such. The court clarified that merely starting a fresh inquiry does not bar the right to appeal, but if actions taken during the inquiry impact the appeal, it could become infructuous. The case emphasized the independence of clauses within the Standing Orders Ordinance and the definition of employer under the Factories Act. |
