Case Number LHR-206 of 1985
Decision Date Feb 04, 1986
Hearing Date Feb 04, 1986
Decision The appeal was accepted, and the previous order was set aside. The case was remanded to the Labour Court for redecision regarding the validity of the grievance petition presentation. The Labour Court must determine whether the petitioner was present when the grievance petition was filed, as the record did not conclusively indicate this. The parties are directed to appear before the Labour Court on 15-02-1986 for further proceedings.
Summary This case revolves around the presentation of a grievance petition under the Industrial Relations Ordinance of 1969. The key issue was whether the grievance petition was properly presented, as it was claimed to have been lodged by a representative instead of the petitioner himself. The Labour Appellate Tribunal found that the record was unclear about the petitioner's presence during the filing of the grievance petition, necessitating a remand for a factual determination. This case highlights the importance of proper representation in legal proceedings, particularly in labour disputes, and underscores the need for accurate record-keeping in judicial processes.
