| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the appellant was found guilty of wilful negligence for not informing the employer about the actual cause of his confinement in jail due to a narcotic case. The Labour Court's decision to deny back benefits and wages was upheld, as the appellant's own conduct was responsible for his dismissal from service. The Labour Appellate Tribunal found that the claims for back benefits could not be entertained based on established precedents. |
| Summary |
In this significant case before the Labour Appellate Tribunal, the issue revolved around the dismissal of an employee involved in a narcotic case. The Tribunal examined the appellant's claim for back benefits and wages after he was reinstated following a grievance petition. However, due to his failure to notify the employer of his detention, the Tribunal ruled that he was guilty of wilful negligence. This ruling emphasizes the importance of communication between employees and employers regarding legal issues that could affect employment status. The decision aligns with previous cases, reinforcing the principle that back benefits are not automatically granted upon reinstatement if the dismissal was influenced by the employee's own actions. The case highlights the responsibilities of employees to assert their rights and maintain transparency with their employers. |
