Constitution of the Petro-Bangla Employees Union
Articles 11, 29
Industrial Relation Rules 1977
Rule 6
Any work done or action taken, without the force backing of law, is void ab initio, and has no legal basis– Appellate Division is of the view that amendment dated 26-11-2008 in respect of Article 11 of the Constitution of the Petro-Bangla Employees Union is void, as such, amendment has been done in violation of Article 29 of the Constitution of the Union and holding of election of the Executive Committee of the Petro-Bangla Employees Union on the basis of such void Article 11, on 31-12-2008 with 12 members of the Committee is also void. Thus the authority (appellants herein) rightly issued letter dated 3-3-2009, impugned in the writ petition asking for holding re-election on the basis of the approved Article 11 of the Constitution. Hence the High Court Division committed serious error in making the Rule absolute by its judgment and order dated 15-12-2009 which requires to be interfered with by this Division. .....Government of Bangladesh=VS=Executive Committee of Petro Banla Employees Union, (Civil), 2022(1) [12 LM (AD) 76] ....View Full Judgment
