Judgment text as reported

BASHIR ALI SHAHZAD VS BANK OF PUNJAB Statutory body or organization---Statutory rules of service, determination of---Scope---In a corporation constituted by or under the law, the government might not reserve the power to regulate the terms of service of the employees---Instead, it may leave them to the corporation's discretion and empower it to develop rules or regulations without its intervention---In such a situation, the corporation would be the sole judge in prescribing the terms of service, and the principle of master and servant would apply---However, where a statute or statutory rules regulate the terms and conditions of employment, the corporation's authority is constrained by those provisions---It cannot invoke the principle of master and servant when an employee challenges his termination and seeks reinstatement---Determining factor in evaluating whether a corporation's rules or regulations have statutory force is not their form or name but the source under which they are framed.
