AI Generated Summary

The National Labour Commission ruled in favor of the respondent, ordering his reinstatement and compensation after demotion and salary reduction by the appellant. Dissatisfied, the appellant appealed, contesting the NLC's jurisdiction and the retroactive application of the Labour Act 2003. The appellate court held that the NLC lacked jurisdiction, the Labour Act could not be applied retroactively, and the demotion based on poor performance was valid. Consequently, the appeal was upheld, reversing the NLC's decision.
