| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed. The decision dated 5-11-1985 recorded by the learned Labour Court No. 4, Faisalabad was challenged, whereby the grievance petition of the appellant was dismissed. The previous promotion policy of the respondent was rescinded on 13-5-1985, which allowed employees to become entitled to the next higher grade after five years of successful service. The appellant's claim was that a vested right had been created under the old policy, which could not be withdrawn. However, the court found that the appellant had no vested right as he had not completed the five-year requirement before the policy was amended. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed. |
