Muhammad Yawar Ali Khan for Appellant.

Ch. Fazal Elahi for Respondent.

Date of hearing: 24th May, 1986.

The order dated 26‑2‑1986, whereby the despondent has been granted a stay order has been challenged in the present appeal.

2. The order not being a decision delivered under section 25‑A of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969, no appeal lies. The appeal could be treated as a revision but I do not think that the impugned order suffers from any legal infirmity.

3. The respondent was removed from service by way of punishment but on departmental appeal was demoted to the post of pointsman for one year and was transferred to Nishatabad. The stay order is for not implementing the said order. The respondent is a low‑paid employee getting pay of about Rs.600 per mensem including allowances. It will be difficult for him to shift from Gujrat to Nishatabad. Tehsil and District Faisalabad. According to Railway Rules such transfers have been discouraged.

4. As a result the revision is rejected.

A. E.

Revision rejected.
