2. The facts in brief are that by an order dated 18-4-1990 the respondent was appointed as Assistant on basic salary of Rs,900 per month for a period of six months. The respondent however continued in service even after six months and by letter dated 25-2-1991 his services were terminated with immediate effect without mentioning any reasons for termination. This termination was effected under Order 12(3) of the Standing Orders Ordinance and it was imperative that explicit reasons for termination had to be given. Nature of appointment as ad hoc is not mentioned in the Standing Orders Ordinance. At the most he could be termed temporary if the nature of appointment was not permanent. Even in case of temporary worker Order 12(3) is made applicable. The termination is therefore void being against requirements of the Standing Orders.
The respondent has also stated that he was without any job subsequent to his termination. There is thus hardly any reason for interference of the order of the Labour Court which is maintained and the appeal is dismissed. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
