CAT pulls up DTC for dismissing employee unfairly
Central Administrative Tribunal(CAT) pulls up DTC for dismissing employee unfairly
The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has rapped the DTC for terminating the services of a driver on medical grounds, though he had performed the job for over 23 years with the same disability.
The CAT wondered how the corporation could terminate the services of Munshi Lal who had a clean track record despite driving the vehicle without an index finger.
"It is very strange that the driver whose injured index finger (which was amputated) has not come in the way of efficient discharge of duties from 1982 to 2005 for which there is no complaint...on record... yet on the same alleged disability holding him unfit to perform duty on re-employment upto 60 years, when the position has not been altered, the DTC has not acted fairly," the Tribunal said.
