Judgment text as reported

UNITED BANK LIMITED (UBL) VS JAMIL AHMED S. 2(xxxiii)--- 'Worker' and 'workman'---Proof and burden of proof---In order to adjudicate whether a person is performing his duties as a 'workman' or 'worker', or Manager, Officer and/or duties of supervisory nature, the pith and substance of the adjudication predominantly depends on the nature of duties and not on the basis of the nomenclature of the post---In order to thrash out this controversy, the appropriate appraisal for assistance can be made by dint of oral and documentary evidence produced by the parties in the court of first instance---In case the employee asserts that he was performing duties as workman and such contentions are opposed by the management, then in such eventuality the burden of proof lies upon the employee to substantiate that he was in fact performing the duties of a 'workman' and the mere nomenclature of the post does not affect his status of employment as worker or workman.
