| Decision |
The court dismissed the application seeking injunctive orders regarding the plaintiff's posting and transfer. It was concluded that the plaintiff's appointment letter allowed for postings and transfers to various locations, and no violation of fundamental rights was established. The court found that the plaintiff had not remained at any post for longer than three years, and therefore, the transfers were valid under the National Highway Authority Employees Services Rules. The court upheld the authority's discretion in managing employee postings and transfers. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the validity of the plaintiff's transfer and posting within the National Highway Authority. The Sindh High Court evaluated the legitimacy of the orders concerning the plaintiff's service conditions under the National Highway Authority Employees Services Rules, 1995. The court emphasized that the plaintiff's appointment letter permitted transfers to any location across Pakistan, and no fundamental rights were infringed. The decision reinforces the authority's right to manage employee postings, highlighting that employees cannot object to transfers that align with their service terms. This ruling is significant for those studying employment law, particularly in the context of public service regulations. |
