Case Number 12(10) of 1986
Decision Date Feb 24, 1986
Hearing Date
Decision The appeal was dismissed in limine. The case centered on the retirement of the appellant, MUSHTAQ AHMAD, based on the date of birth recorded in his service book, which was 8-7-1923. The appellant contested this decision, claiming a correction had been made via a letter from the General Manager. However, the genuineness of this letter was denied by the department. The court found that there was conclusive evidence to support the recorded date of birth and that no substantial case was made to claim that the retirement was an unfair labor practice. The decision of the employer was upheld, and the appeal was dismissed.
Summary This case involves the National Industrial Relations Commission's decision regarding the retirement of MUSHTAQ AHMAD, who contested the recorded date of birth in his service book. The case highlights issues of employee rights, labor laws, and the importance of documented evidence in disputes over employment conditions. The Commission found no evidence supporting the appellant's claims regarding a corrected date of birth, thus upholding the employer's decision. This case serves as a critical reference for understanding employee rights under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, particularly regarding retirement and date of birth disputes. Key terms include 'Industrial Relations Ordinance', 'employee rights', 'retirement age', 'labor law disputes', and 'evidence in labor cases'.
