| Decision |
The appeal filed by Fazal Karim Chaudhari against the Livestock and Dairy Development Department was dismissed. The tribunal found that the appellant's claim for seniority was not sustainable as he was primarily in temporary positions and had made transfers that severed his link to the seniority list he was claiming. The tribunal upheld the seniority list provided by the Department, stating the appellant was correctly placed at Serial No. 6, as his juniors had been promoted ahead of him. The court emphasized that the appellant had not maintained a permanent status in the cadre he was claiming seniority in and that his request for promotion was not substantiated by the history of his service and transfers. |
| Summary |
The case of Fazal Karim Chaudhari vs. Secretary to Government of Punjab revolves around a dispute regarding seniority within the Livestock and Dairy Development Department. The appellant, who had served in various capacities since 1955, contested the seniority list that placed him at Serial No. 6, arguing he should be at Serial No. 2 based on his service history. The tribunal examined the appellant's service records, noting that his positions were often temporary and that he had voluntarily transferred to different departments, which affected his claim to seniority. The decision highlighted the importance of maintaining a clear and consistent career path for seniority claims and underscored that the appellant's promotions were timely and in line with departmental policies. The ruling serves as a precedent for future cases regarding employment seniority and the implications of voluntary transfers. |
