| Decision |
The appeal was directed against the order of the Fourth Sindh Labour Court, which allowed a grievance petition filed by the employee, RAEES AHMAD, in ex parte proceedings. The Labour Court determined that the employer, PAKISTAN STEEL MILLS CORPORATION, was duly served, and an Advocate appeared on its behalf but failed to present any defense on the adjourned date. Consequently, the Labour Court passed an ex parte order in favor of the employee, reinstating him with back benefits. The appeal was dismissed as no sufficient reason was provided to set aside the Labour Court's order, and points not raised before the Labour Court could not be considered at the appeal stage. |
| Summary |
In the case of RAEES AHMAD vs PAKISTAN STEEL MILLS CORPORATION, the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Sindh dealt with an appeal concerning the reinstatement of an employee who was dismissed from service. The Tribunal confirmed the decision of the Labour Court, which had allowed the grievance petition filed by the employee in ex parte proceedings. The case highlighted the importance of representation in labor disputes, as the employer failed to appear on the adjourned date after initially being represented by an Advocate. The Tribunal maintained that the evidence presented by the employee went unrebutted, leading to the conclusion that the Labour Court's decision should stand. This case underscores the legal principles surrounding labor rights and the procedural obligations of employers in grievance proceedings. |
