| Decision |
The Labour Appellate Tribunal dismissed the appeal filed by Messrs United Bank Limited, Sukkur, against the Sind Labour Court's order which reinstated the respondent, Ghulam Sarwar, with fifty percent back benefits. The Tribunal found that the grievance petition was neither time-barred nor affected by res judicata. The respondent was a permanent workman performing clerical duties, and the Labour Court had properly evaluated the evidence before concluding that the dismissal from service was unjustified. The decision emphasized that the notice served by the respondent after the Supreme Court's ruling was valid, and the appellant's claims regarding misconduct were not substantiated in the domestic enquiry. |
| Summary |
The case involves the reinstatement of Ghulam Sarwar, an employee of United Bank Limited, who was wrongfully dismissed. The Labour Appellate Tribunal upheld the Labour Court's decision after reviewing the evidence and legal arguments. The case is significant in the context of employment law, particularly within the framework of the Industrial Relations Ordinance of 1969, which governs workers' rights and grievances. The Tribunal's ruling underscores the importance of due process in employment termination cases and affirms the rights of workers to seek redress against unjust dismissal. Keywords include 'employment law', 'workers' rights', 'grievance petitions', and 'reinstatement'. |
