DECISION This appeal, whereby the petition under section 25-A of I.R.O., 1969 came to be dismissed, has arisen in the following circumstances.
2. The petitioner was employed as a Driver in Pakistan Railways at Loco Shed, Rohri and was retired after reaching the age of superannuation with effect from 22-6-1989. He was paid six months' encashment on LPR but without 55% running allowance which was stated to be part and parcel of the pay, and was being paid to the retiring employees earlier.
3. After serving the grievance notice the petition was filed before the Labour Court with the aforesaid result.
4. The Running allowance was being paid earlier under Rules 17 and 18 of Revised Leave Rules, 1980.
The same came to be modified under Rule 17(4) which provides that for the purpose of lump sum payment in lieu of L.P.R., only the Senior Post Allowance was to be included in the Leave Pay and no other allowance.
5. The withdrawal of this allowance cannot be challenged as it does not involve the infringement of any right guaranteed under law, award or settlement.
6. Under the circumstances the order is not open to any interference. I will, therefore, dismiss the appeal. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
