Decision |
The Labour Appellate Tribunal dismissed the appeals of Nasim Ahmed Siddiqui and Javed Aslam, stating that there was no enforceable right for retrospective appointment as Technical Assistants following their completion of training. The Tribunal upheld that the management retains the discretion to determine effective dates for appointments based on available vacancies, as guaranteed by the terms of the training scheme. The appellants had accepted a revised training scheme with no assurance of immediate employment, thus their grievance for retroactive appointment was not substantiated. |
