| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by the defunct Workers Union against the Sind High Court's judgment which had upheld the cancellation of the Union's registration. The Court noted that the Union had ceased to exist after the closure of the Pakistan Glass Industries Limited and that no elections had been held following its dissolution. The Court emphasized that workers' rights were preserved despite the Union's status and that the authorities should address any claims made by the workers. Consequently, the leave to appeal petition was dismissed without any order as to costs. |
| Summary |
In the case of IFTIKHAR AHMAD vs. ISHRAT ALI SIDDIQI, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed the appeal regarding the cancellation of registration of a Workers Union under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. The petitioner, IFTIKHAR AHMAD, represented a defunct union that lost its registration after the closure of the associated company. The judgment emphasized the importance of protecting workers' rights even in the absence of an active union. The Court ruled that the appeal was unfounded and upheld the lower court's decision, ensuring that workers' claims for due payments would still be addressed by the relevant authorities. This case highlights key aspects of labor law and the rights of workers in Pakistan. |
