| Decision |
The appeal was directed against the decision of the VIIth Labour Court, which dismissed the grievance petition of the appellant on the basis of a prior decision. The case involved the suspension and subsequent dismissal of the appellant, who was a Senior Head Cashier at the National Bank of Pakistan. The Tribunal found that there was insufficient evidence regarding the nature of the appellant's duties and whether he qualified as a workman under the Standing Orders. The case was remanded to the Labour Court to allow both parties to present evidence regarding the appellant's work status and duties. The Tribunal emphasized that the designation of the employee is not the sole factor in determining workman status; rather, the actual duties performed are critical. |
| Summary |
In the case of Nizamuddin vs. National Bank of Pakistan, the Labour Appellate Tribunal addressed critical issues regarding the dismissal of an employee under the West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance. The appellant, a Senior Head Cashier, was dismissed following allegations of banking irregularities. The Tribunal noted the lack of evidence on the nature of the appellant's duties, which is essential for determining if he qualifies as a workman according to the law. The case highlights the importance of properly assessing an employee's role and the legal implications of dismissals in the banking sector, particularly in relation to the Second Wage Commission's directives. The decision reinforces the need for clarity in employee classifications and the rights of workers within nationalized banks, ensuring that justice is served in employment disputes. |
