Case Number Appeals Nos.KAR 158 to KAR 162 of 1999
Decision Date Nov 16, 1999
Hearing Date
Decision The appeals were dismissed as time-barred due to the failure to file within the prescribed timeframe. The appellants cited various unsatisfactory reasons for the delay, including personal circumstances and claims of poverty, which were not deemed sufficient to warrant a condonation of delay. The court emphasized that the reasons provided did not justify the three-month delay in filing the appeals following the initial decision made by the Sindh Labour Court. The applications for condonation of delay were dismissed, and as a result, the appeals were dismissed in limine.
Summary In the case of ISHRAT UN NISA and others vs. Messrs NABI QASIM INDUSTRIES (PVT.) LTD., the Labour Appellate Tribunal, Sindh, addressed the appeals filed against a decision from the Sindh Labour Court regarding grievances under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. The Tribunal found that the appeals were filed significantly late, nearly three months after the decision was issued, and the reasons provided for this delay were deemed unsatisfactory. The Tribunal highlighted the importance of adhering to legal timelines and dismissed the appeals on the grounds of being time-barred. This case underscores the critical nature of timely legal action and the implications of failed adherence to procedural requirements in labor law disputes.
