| Decision |
The Labour Appellate Tribunal found that the grievance petition of the employee, which had been dismissed by the Labour Court on the basis of limitation, should not have been dismissed in limine. The Tribunal emphasized that the Presiding Officer should have considered the material presented before him and provided the appellant an opportunity to explain his situation regarding the limitation. As a result, the dismissal order was set aside, and the case was remanded for further proceedings on its merits according to law. |
| Summary |
In this case, the Labour Appellate Tribunal addressed the dismissal of a grievance petition filed by an employee against his removal from service. The employee, who had been promoted shortly after his hiring, was dismissed due to dissatisfaction with his conduct. The Labour Court dismissed the grievance petition on the grounds of limitation without a proper hearing. The Tribunal ruled that the Labour Court should have considered the evidence and provided the employee a chance to present his case. This ruling underscores the importance of fair hearing processes in labor disputes under the Industrial Relations Ordinance. The case highlights keywords such as 'grievance petition', 'removal from service', 'Labour Court', and 'Industrial Relations Ordinance', which are crucial for understanding labor law and employee rights. |
