Facts of the Case
Background
Applicant Mike Manhuwa was employed as a driver by First Respondent Antar International Co. (Pvt) Ltd. Following an accident while driving, he was brought before a Disciplinary Committee which found him guilty. The matter came to this Court on review, where the Court set aside the Disciplinary Committee's decision and remitted the matter for hearing de novo before a Designated Agent of the Third Respondent within 60 days. The subsequent arbitration proceedings form the basis of this review and appeal.
