Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the customs officers' claim for salary arrears upon return to service, ruling that labor courts lack jurisdiction over such service-related disputes. The court held that while the officers were wrongfully dismissed, their request for salary compensation falls under the specific regime of the Customs Service Act rather than general labor law. Consequently, the court determined that any remedy must be sought as a general tort claim for damages, not as a claim for unpaid salary.
