| Decision |
The appeal by Abdur Rasheed was dismissed due to the lack of genuine medical certificates supporting his absence from work. The Labour Court concluded that the appellant's illness was merely an excuse for his absence, as he failed to provide credible evidence for his medical claims. The termination of his employment was upheld, as the management had to replace him during the crushing season due to his absence. |
