| Decision |
The revision application was dismissed as the grievance petition was deemed to be within the prescribed limitation period. The Tribunal found that the grievance arose after the dismissal of the appeal, and since the grievance notice was filed within the time frame following the appeal's outcome, it was held to be valid. The Tribunal emphasized the importance of compliance with service rules and the rights afforded to employees under the established service conditions. The decision underscores the principle that where a right to appeal exists, the grievance is considered to arise from the rejection of that appeal, irrespective of whether the employer is a statutory body. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the Industrial Relations Ordinance (XXIII of 1969), specifically section 25-A, which deals with grievance petitions and their limitations. It highlights the critical importance of understanding the timeline of grievances in relation to appeal processes within employment settings. The case illustrates how the Labour Appellate Tribunal interpreted the rights of employees in non-statutory bodies and reinforced the necessity for employees to adhere to procedural rules regarding grievance notices. By establishing that the grievance arose upon the appeal's dismissal rather than the initial termination, the Tribunal provided clear guidance on grievance timelines, which is essential for both employers and employees in navigating labor disputes. This ruling is significant for labor law practitioners and advocates as it clarifies the conditions under which grievances are deemed timely and valid, thus ensuring that employees' rights are upheld in accordance with the law. |
