Case Number Appeal No. 58 with Civil Miscellaneous No. 28 of 1
Decision Date Nov 25, 1993
Hearing Date
Decision The Labour Appellate Tribunal dismissed both appeals filed by the Bank and the Petitioner-employee. The Labour Court was found to have jurisdiction over the case, and it was concluded that the Enquiry Officer's findings were not substantiated due to lack of evidence from the complainant. The Tribunal upheld the Labour Court's decision to reinstate the employee with partial back benefits, highlighting the inadequacy of evidence against him and the possibility of retaliation due to his union activities.
Summary In the landmark case of Allied Bank of Pakistan Limited vs. Qazi Tariq Javed, the Labour Appellate Tribunal addressed significant issues surrounding industrial disputes and the authority of Labour Courts in reviewing Enquiry Officer findings. The case arose from allegations of misappropriation against Qazi Tariq Javed, a former employee and trade union activist. The Tribunal emphasized the necessity of credible evidence in disciplinary proceedings, ruling that the Labour Court rightfully intervened to rectify a miscarriage of justice, thereby reinforcing the rights of employees against unfair treatment. This case underlines the importance of fair hearing and the need for substantial proof in employment-related disputes, making it a pivotal reference for future cases involving employee rights and industrial relations.
