The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has ruled on a petition filed by 40 employees opposing the privatisation of Chandigarh's electricity department.
The Tribunal instructed the administration to finalise an employee transfer scheme in accordance with the Electricity Act, ensuring fair service conditions for workers shifting to the private sector.
Temporary transfers are allowed before the final scheme is implemented.
The transfer plan must align with the provisions of the Electricity Act, protecting employees' terms and conditions during the transition.
