| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the appellant's claims were not substantiated. The court found that the transfer from Duty Clerk to Time Checker did not constitute a change in category, as both posts were part of the same traffic staff. The claim of transfer due to union activities was also dismissed due to lack of evidence. The additional evidence submitted by the appellant was deemed unnecessary for the correct decision of the appeal. Therefore, the court upheld the lower court's decision, affirming the legality of the transfer and the abolition of the Duty Clerk post. |
| Summary |
In the case of Aman Ullah vs. Punjab Urban Transport Corporation, the Labour Appellate Tribunal of Punjab addressed an appeal regarding the transfer of the appellant from the position of Duty Clerk to Time Checker. The appellant contested the transfer, asserting that it represented a change in his job category and was motivated by his union activities as the Press Secretary of the Alfateh Mazdoor League. The court examined the nature of both positions and found them to be within the same operational category. Key arguments revolved around the legitimacy of the transfer and the circumstances surrounding the abolition of the Duty Clerk position. The evidence presented was insufficient to support the appellant's claims, leading to the dismissal of the appeal. This case highlights critical aspects of labor relations and the legal framework governing employee transfers within public transport entities in Punjab. |
