| Decision |
The Labour Appellate Tribunal dismissed the appeals filed by M/s. TELEPHONE INDUSTRIES OF PAKISTAN (PVT.) LIMITED against the common order of the Labour Court, which allowed the petitions of twelve petitioners. The Tribunal found that the petitioners had worked as mechanics and helpers from 1976 to 1985, initially as daily rated workers and later under a coercive contract. Their verbal termination was deemed illegal as it violated labour laws. The Tribunal affirmed the Labour Court's decision to reinstate the petitioners with full back benefits, emphasizing that their work was of a permanent nature and that they were entitled to the rights of permanent employees. |
