The Islamabad High Court ruled that a grievance filed before fifteen days cannot be declared premature and the legal rights of a permanent employee cannot be restricted by any administrative decision.
2024 P L C 1

مندرجہ بالا کیس میں درج ذیل اہم نکات سامنے آئے ہیں:

1. Industrial Relations Act, 2012، سیکشن 33(4):

قانون کے تحت اگر کسی ملازم کی شکایت درخواست (grievance petition) پندرہ دن کی مدت ختم ہونے سے پہلے داخل کی جائے تو اسے "قبل از وقت" (premature) قرار نہیں دیا جا سکتا۔

2. پندرہ دن کی شرط کی قانونی حیثیت:

عدالت نے یہ قرار دیا کہ اگرچہ پندرہ دن کی شرط موجود ہے، لیکن اگر درخواست دہندہ (respondent/workman) کی درخواست پندرہ دن سے پہلے داخل کی جائے اور اس دوران نوٹس کا جواب بھی دے دیا جائے تو اس کا قانونی حق متاثر نہیں ہوتا۔

3. مستقل ملازم کے حقوق:

عدالت نے ملازم کے ان حقوق پر زور دیا جو قانون کے تحت ایک مستقل ملازم کو حاصل ہوتے ہیں۔ ان حقوق کو کسی انتظامی فیصلے کے ذریعے محدود، روکا یا ختم نہیں کیا جا سکتا۔

4. عدالت کی مداخلت کا انکار:

اسلام آباد ہائی کورٹ نے نیشنل انڈسٹریل ریلیشنز کمیشن کے فیصلے کو برقرار رکھا اور آئینی درخواست (constitutional petition) مسترد کر دی۔

5. قانونی نظائر (precedents):

کیس میں کئی نظائر کا حوالہ دیا گیا جو مختلف عدالتوں نے مستقل ملازمین کے حقوق اور شکایت کے طریقہ کار کے متعلق دیے تھے۔

6. نتیجہ:

عدالت نے قرار دیا کہ ملازم کو اس کے قانونی حقوق فراہم کیے جائیں گے، اور پٹیشنر (employer company) کا موقف ناقابل قبول تھا۔

یہ فیصلہ ملازمین کے قانونی حقوق کی حفاظت کے لیے ایک اہم مثال فراہم کرتا ہے۔
