| Decision |
The Labour Appellate Tribunal dismissed the appeals filed by the appellants, Tasawar Ali and Zaheer Ahmad, confirming the Labour Court's decision that their grievance petitions were time-barred. The Tribunal found that the grievance notices submitted by the appellants were manipulated to appear within the limitation period. The evidence presented did not sufficiently explain the discrepancy in the dates of the notices, leading to the conclusion that the petitions were not maintainable. As a result, the Tribunal upheld the Labour Court's order and dismissed both appeals. |
| Summary |
In the case of Tasawar Ali and Zaheer Ahmad vs. Messrs MODerN TEXTILE MILLS Ltd., the Labour Appellate Tribunal, Sindh addressed significant issues regarding the dismissal of grievance petitions based on alleged manipulation of grievance notice dates. The Tribunal examined the timeline of events where the appellants, active members of the Modern Textile Mills Workers Union, alleged unfair treatment and dismissal from their positions due to their union activities. Despite their claims, the Tribunal upheld the Labour Court's ruling that the grievance petitions were filed beyond the permissible time frame as per the Industrial Relations Ordinance (XXIII of 1969). The case highlights the importance of adhering to procedural requirements in labor disputes and the potential consequences of failing to do so, thereby setting a precedent for future cases involving labor relations and grievance procedures. |
