The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday directed the four public road transport corporations (RTCs) in the State to expeditiously decide on the appeal against the suspension of over 3,000 employees in connection with the recent strike. The court allowed the Karnataka State Transport Employees’ League (KSTEL) to file common appeals for each division of the RTCs on behalf of the suspended employees of that particular division. It asked the RTCs to ensure that the appellate authorities decide on such appeals within two weeks. In the case of dismissed employees, the court said the appellate authorities should decide on the pleas against their dismissal within two months. On those transferred to different divisions following the strike, the court said the employees and the league can submit representations against the transfer and they should be decided on within 10 days.More Related News
