SAEED AHMED VS NESTLE PAKISTAN LIMITED. Quantum of punishment---Determination---Prerogative of employer---Misconduct established---Proportionality of penalty. Once act of misconduct is established and employee is found guilty after following due process of law, it is prerogative of employer to determine quantum of punishment from penalties provided under law. However, court or tribunal may examine proportionality and reasonableness of punishment in exceptional circumstances. Where punishment is found disproportionate to misconduct, competent authority's order may be revisited and appropriate lesser punishment may be awarded if permitted by law. Each case depends upon its own facts and circumstances.
