Court Name: Labour Appellate Tribunal Judge(s): Mushtaq Ali Kazi Title:RASHID KHAN vs DIVISIONAL SUPERINTENDENT, PAKISTAN RAILWAYS, SUKKUR
And Others Case No.: Appeal No. SUK-350 of 1996 Date of Judgment:1996-05-30 Reported As: 1997 PLC 457 Result: Appeal dismissed Judgment DECISION Appellant Rashid Khan was appointed in the Railway Department on 5-1-1960 as a helper. He worked upto 6-7-1980 . Thereafter, due to domestic difficulties he left his service and remained absent for a period of 5 years. After his return he applied for the same job, so he was freshly appointed on 25-1-1986. The appellant has, however, claimed back benefits for the period of 5 years that he remained absent on the ground that no enquiry was held for --termination of his service. 2. It was pointed out before the Labour Court that under Railway Establishment Code Volume II, Rule 2014 after continuous absence from. Duty for five years a Railway servant ceased to be in Government employment. His grievance petition was, therefore, rightly dismissed by the Labour Court and I can see no reason to interfere. This appeal is accordingly dismissed in limine.
