| Decision |
The petition was dismissed, affirming the decision of the Labour Court and Labour Appellate Tribunal which found that the termination of the respondent's services violated Standing Order No. 13. The court noted that the petitioner failed to provide evidence that the respondent was a category unto himself, and the concurrent findings of fact were based on solid evidence. The decision emphasized the limited jurisdiction of the High Court in constitutional petitions and upheld the Tribunal's ruling that the respondent's termination was not lawful. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the termination of an employee, Abdul Majeed, by Karachi Textile Dyeing and Printing Works. The Sindh High Court addressed the legality of the termination under the West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance and the Industrial Relations Ordinance. The primary issue was whether the termination violated Standing Order No. 13, which protects workers from unfair dismissal based on their category. The court upheld the findings of the Labour Court and Appellate Tribunal, ruling that the termination was unlawful as it contradicted the employer's own admissions regarding the employment of junior workers. This case underscores the importance of adhering to proper legal procedures in employment termination and the protection of workers' rights under relevant laws. |
