Appeal, No. 2 of 1985 |
| Decision Date |
Jun 01, 1985 |
| Hearing Date |
Mar 21, 1985 |
| Decision |
The appeal was directed against the decision of the Labour Court which had allowed the grievance petition of the respondent, Khawaja Masroor Ahmed, challenging his termination. The Labour Court ruled that the respondent had attained the status of a permanent worker after completing three months of probation and that the termination was invalid due to lack of written notice and reasons. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Labour Court's decision to reinstate the respondent with full back benefits. |
| Summary |
In 1985, the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Balochistan ruled on a significant case involving the termination of a probationary worker, Khawaja Masroor Ahmed, by Fauji Polypropylene Products. The Tribunal emphasized the importance of adhering to the West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, particularly sections 1(c) and 12(3), which outline the rights of workers regarding termination. The Tribunal found that Ahmed had completed his probationary period and had therefore attained the status of a permanent worker. The lack of a written termination notice rendered the employer's action invalid. This case underscores the legal protections afforded to workers in Pakistan and serves as a precedent for similar employment disputes.
