Sacked GCC employees told to approach 'relevant' forum.

ISLAMABAD -- The top court directed former employees of the Gun and Country Club to approach the relevant forum for the restoration of their jobs as it disposed of their petition.

This was directed by a three-member bench of the Supreme Court (SC), headed by Justice Azmat Saeed and comprising Justice Faisal Arab and Justice Ijazul Ahsan, while hearing a petition filed by the sacked employees of the club.

During the proceedings of the case, Justice Ahsan remarked that the counsel for the petitioners was previously representing the club before the court and now it was representing its employees against the club.

'Is this not a conflict of interest?' Justice Ahsan asked.

At this, the counsel for the petitioners conceded that while he had represented the club in the past, he had not sought any relief against the club or its administration during his current representation.

Justice Ahsan further remarked that the complaint against the club cannot be heard because the club enjoys no legal status.

The counsel recalled that the court had constituted an administrative committee to manage the affairs of the club. This committee, he argued, had sacked employees, including his clients.

Justice Ahsan remarked that the committee, after reviewing matters of the club, had kept necessary staff while all staff deemed surplus had been terminated.

The employees pleaded to the court to return their application.

The court then directed the employees to contact the relevant forum for redress of their grievances and disposed of the petition
