| Decision |
The appeal filed by the employer department was dismissed due to being time-barred by 42 days. The Labour Court had previously accepted the grievance petition of the employee, Riaz Ahmad, who had been denied his salary since July 1, 1999. The evidence presented showed that Riaz Ahmad had been continuously employed and attained the status of a permanent workman. The Tribunal upheld the Labour Court's decision, emphasizing the lack of cogent reasons for the delay in filing the appeal. |
