Writ Petition No. 10303 of 2004 |

| Decision |
The court dismissed the petition, ruling that the petitioners were not directly employed by Pakistan International Airlines Corporation (PIAC) but rather by a contractor. The court found that the regulations governing the employment relationship were not established as statutory rules, which would have entitled the petitioners to reinstatement. Instead, the petitioners were entitled only to claim damages due to their lack of a direct employment relationship with PIAC. The court emphasized the principle of master and servant and cited previous cases to support its decision. |
| Summary |
In the case of Malik MAZHARUL HAQ and another vs. CHAIRMAN, PAKISTAN INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES CORPORATION, the Lahore High Court addressed the issue of employment status of the petitioners who claimed to be permanent employees of PIAC after serving for over 180 days. The court evaluated the applicability of the Pakistan International Airlines Corporation Act and the Constitution of Pakistan regarding the petitioners' claims of wrongful termination. The court concluded that the regulations framed by PIAC were not statutory, thus not affording the petitioners the right to reinstatement. This case highlights the complexities of employment relationships within contractual frameworks, particularly in the context of labor laws in Pakistan.
