The Lahore High Court (LHC) has dismissed three different petitions against Pakistan Telecommunications Company Limited (PTCL) Voluntary Severance Scheme (VSS).
Out of these, two petitions were filed by the Lines Staff Union while a third petition was filled by an ex-employee Rana Muhammad Hassan. The petitioners requested the court to halt the VSS as well as internal transfers and postings of PTCL. The court dismissed the request for immediate halting of transfers and postings and adjourned the case till October 24.
Previously, similar petitions were also lodged in the Islamabad and Sindh High Courts as well as National Industrial Relation Commission (NIRC), but all the courts declined to issue stay orders for the petitions filed against PTCL.
When contacted, PTCL Executive Vice President (EVP) HR Farooq H Malik said that the current VSS offer had been a success and it showed that the employees fully trusted and endorsed the management. He further said that on the insistence of the employees, the application submission date of PTCL VSS scheme had been extended till September 27, 2012.
He further said a few miscreants had been lodging unreasonable petitions in various courts. None of the petitions had been maintained by any court so far which was a clear sign that PTCL administration’s steps were within the bounds of law.
Dear Commentators, Pl. up to date the ptcl pensioners action weather from courts or from ptcl orgnanization.
