| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the appellant failed to appear for cross-examination despite being given four opportunities. The Labour Court determined that the appellant was not interested in pursuing the petition, leading to the rejection of his application for adjournment. The lack of evidence resulted in the dismissal of the application made under section 25-A of the Industrial Relations Ordinance. The decision of the Labour Court was upheld by the Appellate Tribunal. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the dismissal of an appellant worker under the Industrial Relations Ordinance (XXIII of 1969), specifically focusing on section 25-A regarding dismissal from service. The case highlights the significance of presenting oneself for cross-examination in legal proceedings. The Labour Appellate Tribunal, Sindh, presided over the case where the appellant was represented by Choudhry Maarif and the respondent by Masood Sheryar. Despite multiple opportunities given to the appellant to present his case, he failed to appear, leading to the dismissal of his appeal. This case underscores the importance of due diligence and participation in legal processes, as the absence of the appellant was interpreted as a lack of interest in pursuing the grievance. The decision serves as a reminder to all workers about the necessity of engaging actively in their legal representation. |
