Case Number JG-261 of 1989
Decision Date Jun 27, 1989
Hearing Date
Decision The appeal was disposed of, affirming that the demand notice issued by the appellant union was valid despite the absence of a formal termination notice for the previous settlement. The court clarified that while the settlement itself ends upon the expiration of the agreed period, the benefits derived from it continue until negotiations conclude. The demand notice served after the expiry of the settlement period was deemed negotiable, and the appeal was dismissed accordingly.
Summary This case revolves around the interpretation of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, specifically pertaining to the validity of a demand notice issued by a labor union after a settlement period had expired. The Labour Appellate Tribunal of Punjab addressed the legal implications of such demand notices and their negotiability. The court held that even in the absence of a formal termination notice for a previous settlement, the demand notice remains valid and can lead to negotiations. This ruling emphasizes the importance of understanding labor laws and the processes involved in industrial relations, making it a significant reference for future cases concerning labor disputes and settlements.
