| Decision |
The Lahore High Court accepted the petitioner's challenge against the Additional District Judge's ruling, which had declared the termination of the petitioner's services as illegal but denied reinstatement and payment of back benefits. The court noted that the petitioner was entitled to a reconsideration of their application for amendment regarding their status of service and benefits. The court remanded the case to the Additional District Judge for a fresh decision on both the appeal and the amendment application. The decision emphasized that the appeal must be resolved within two months, ensuring timely justice in this service matter. |
| Summary |
In the case of C.R. No. 471-D of 1990, the Lahore High Court addressed the contentious issue of employment termination within the State Life Insurance Corporation. The petitioner, C.M. Bashir, challenged the legality of his termination on September 18, 1984, asserting that it was conducted without jurisdiction and was unlawful. The trial court initially ruled in favor of the petitioner, declaring the termination invalid. However, the Additional District Judge later reversed this decision, leading to the petitioner appealing to the Lahore High Court. The court found that the principles of Master and Servant did not apply due to the statutory rules governing the petitioner's employment. Ultimately, the High Court remanded the case for further consideration, highlighting the need for clarity on the petitioner's entitlement to reinstatement and back benefits. This case underscores the importance of adhering to procedural norms in employment disputes and the judiciary's role in safeguarding employee rights. |
