ResultAppeal dismissed

' The appeal titled above emanates from the decision dated 30th June, 1982 passed by the learned Presiding Officer, Punjab Labour Court No, 4, Faisalabad, whereby the grievance petition of the appellant for his reinstatement in service was dismissed.

2. The appellant was employed as a cook for cooking the meals of the officers. On the change of the management the post of cook was abolished withdrawing the facility of providing a cook to the officers the services of the appellant were terminated. The appellant may have become a permanent employee fulfilling the conditions of Standing Order 1 of the Standing Orders Ordinance, 1968 but the right of the employer to abolish a post for good grounds cannot be denied. Provision of a cook was only an amenity allowed to the officers and this could be withdrawn at any time and thus was justifiably withdrawn. Since the post of a cook ceased to exist, the termination of the appellant did not cause any actionable grievance to him. He was thus rightly terminated and his grievance petition dismissed.

3. As a result of what has been said above, there is no force in the appeal, which is hereby dismissed.
