| Decision |
This appeal challenges the order of the Sindh Labour Court No. 4, Karachi, which rejected the appellant's petition for reinstatement under section 25-A of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. The appellant, employed at Pakistan Steel Mills Corporation, had his services terminated on 16-9-1985 but was reinstated following a grievance petition. He subsequently sought permanent status after nine months of service. However, his services were again terminated on 27-6-1991, leading to further petitions. The court found that the appellant was a temporary worker and that proper procedure under Standing Order 12(3) was followed for his termination. The evidence did not support the claim of permanent status. The appeal was thus dismissed, upholding the Labour Court's decision. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the termination of a temporary worker at Pakistan Steel Mills Corporation under the Industrial Relations Ordinance. The key issues involved were whether the worker had attained permanent status and if the termination adhered to legal requirements. The tribunal emphasized that the worker was not entitled to the rights of a permanent employee as he was engaged on a daily wage basis for a specific period. This decision underscores the importance of adhering to procedural requirements in employment termination and clarifies the distinction between temporary and permanent employment status under labor laws, making it a significant case for labor relations and employment law in Pakistan.
