EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4102288/2022 Mr U Punnuri
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a Rule 21 judgment dated 15 December 2022, the Employment Judge recorded that the claim forms had been sent to the respondents and that they did not enter responses within the 28-day period. On the material available, the tribunal decided that liability could properly be determined without a hearing, but remedy and any jurisdictional time-limit issues were left to a later hearing.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's complaints of constructive unfair dismissal, detriment for having made a public interest disclosure, discrimination because of race, discrimination because of religious belief, age discrimination, unpaid wages, and unpaid holiday pay against AKS Shawlands Ltd and AKS Victoria Ltd. The judgment records those claims as succeeding on liability only and does not fix any monetary award.
The tribunal also upheld the complaints of detriment for having made a public interest disclosure, discrimination because of race, discrimination because of religious belief, and age discrimination against Muhammad Shahzad. The judgment does not set out any remedy, and it states that the remedy hearing and the time-limit issues would be dealt with separately.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
