Decision Date Jan 30, 1989
Hearing Date Jan 25, 1989
Decision The appeal was dismissed due to the appellant's failure to exhaust departmental remedies as required by the Service Tribunals Act. The appellant's claims regarding adverse remarks in his Annual Confidential Report were not substantiated, and the court found that the appellant did not serve under the Reporting Officer for the requisite period. Consequently, the appeal was deemed incompetent and was dismissed without any order as to costs.
Summary This case revolves around an appeal against adverse remarks recorded in the Annual Confidential Report of the appellant, who served as an Income-tax Officer.
