from the appointed day, an officer or, as the case may be, other employee of the Corporation and shall
hold his office or service therein by the same tenure, at the same remuneration, upon the same terms and
conditions with the same obligations and with the same rights and privileges as to leave, passage,
insurance, superannuation scheme, provident fund, other funds, retirement, pension, gratuity and other
benefits as he would have held under the Commission if its undertaking had not vested in the Corporation
and shall continue to do so as an officer or other employee of the Corporation or until the expiry of a

other employee of the Corporation within such period.

under this Act or under any other law for the time being in force and no such claim shall be entertained by
any court, tribunal or other authority.
