Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as it was found to have no merit. The appellants were dissatisfied with the previous ruling of the Labour Court that dismissed their grievance petition. The court determined that the grievance notice was filed beyond the prescribed time limit and that statutory service rules were applicable, thus the Standing Orders Ordinance could not be utilized for their claims. The absence of evidence in the previous proceedings was noted, but the court concluded that the relevant facts were clear and did not require further evidence for determination. |
Summary |
This case revolves around the appeal by FIRDAUS and others against the Peshawar Development Authority regarding the dismissal of their grievance petition. The Labour Appellate Tribunal examined the applicability of the West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance and the Industrial Relations Ordinance. It was determined that the grievance notice was filed late, exceeding the three-year limit. The case highlighted issues of jurisdiction and the interpretation of service rules, emphasizing the non-commercial nature of the authority involved. The Tribunal ultimately dismissed the appeal, reinforcing the importance of adhering to procedural timelines in labor disputes. |
