DECISION ' This appeal has been filed against the order of the Labour Court, Sukkur dismissing the application made under section 25-A, I. R.
0.
2. The appellant was employed as Godown Keeper for a period of three months in May, 1974. After few months his services were terminated and he was re-employed on 14th June, 1974. Again his services were terminated after three months. Again he was re-employed on Ist November 1975 and continued till 30th April, 1976 as Chowkidar, but on 1st May, 1976 he was appointed as Cashier-cum- Clerk for a period of three months but before the expiry of that period his service was terminated.
He served a grievance notice and approached the Labour Court.
3. The application was resisted and it was pleaded that on every occasion the appellant was appointed on temporory basis for a fixed period as was clear from the letters of appointment and his service was terminated in terms of the contract.
4. The appellant filed his affidavit and he was cross-examined. No witness was examined on behalf of the respondent. On the assessm ent of the evidence the Labour Court upheld the objection of the respondent that the appellant was appointed temporarily for a fixed period and, therefore, no exception could be taken to the termination of his appointment. Aggrieved by this, the present appeal had been filed.
5. I have heard the learned counsel for the patties and I am of the view that no exception can be taken to the order which was passed. The appellant was appointed temporarily on every occasion and was never employed permanent, but on each occasion fresh orders of appointment were issued. Moreover, when he was appointed as Cashier-cum-Clerk on first May, 1976, it was a fresh appointment and not a promotion and, therefore, his previous service could not be counted to support the claim that the appellant was in service for a period of more than three months in order to be treated as permanent employee.
6. In the circumstances the appeal is dismissed.
