1994 (2) TMI 270 - SC - Indian LawsWhether the appellant can discharge the duties of Sub-Station Attendant or any other equivalent post carrying the pay scale of Rs 1400-2300? Held that:- When an employee is afflicted with unfortunate disease due to which, when he is unable to perform the duties of the posts he was holding, the employer must make every endeavour to adjust him in a post in which the employee would be suitable to discharge the duties. Asking the appellant to discharge the duties as a Carrier Attendant is unjust. Since he is a matriculate, he is eligible for the post of LDC. For LDC, apart from matriculation, passing in typing test either in Hindi or English at the speed of 15/30 words per minute is necessary. For a Clerk, typing generally is not a must.Thus the respondent Board directed to relax his passing of typing test and to appoint him as an LDC protecting his scale of pay of Rs 1400-2300 and direct to pay all the arrears of salary.
