Supreme Court quashes labor union registration protection ruling due to unclear termination date evidence.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially quashed lower court decisions regarding the restoration of employment and severance pay for a union official. The plaintiff argued he was protected from dismissal because he was elected to a newly registered union committee, while the employer claimed the termination was disciplinary and based on poor performance. The court found conflicting witness testimonies regarding the exact date the employment contract was terminated, which critically determines whether the plaintiff qualified for special statutory protection under the Trade Unions Act.
