| Decision |
The appeal was allowed, and the order of the learned Sindh Labour Court was set aside. The grievance petition filed by the respondent was determined to be time-barred under section 25-A of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. The respondent failed to submit a grievance notice within the required period and did not adequately demonstrate that the grievance petition was filed in a timely manner. This decision reinforces the importance of adhering to the procedural requirements set forth in the Industrial Relations Ordinance. |
| Summary |
In the case of National Bank of Pakistan vs. Kamal Ahmad Khan, the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Sindh addressed a grievance petition concerning the removal of an employee from service. The primary legal framework involved was the Industrial Relations Ordinance of 1969, particularly section 25-A, which outlines the process and limitations for filing grievance petitions. The Tribunal found that the grievance petition was not sustainable due to the failure of the employee to provide timely notice of the grievance, leading to the conclusion that the petition was barred by time. The decision emphasized the critical nature of following procedural rules in labor disputes, as it can significantly impact the outcome of such cases. This ruling serves as a precedent for similar cases involving employee grievances and reinforces the necessity for strict compliance with statutory requirements in labor law, helping to ensure fair and timely resolutions in industrial relations. |
