Aug 17, 1985 |
| Decision |
The appeal was accepted as the adverse remarks recorded in the Annual Confidential Report (ACR) of the civil servant were found to be unjustified. The inquiry revealed that the allegations against the appellant were not proved, and thus the basis for the adverse remarks had disappeared. The tribunal concluded that the reporting officer's comments were biased and motivated by personal grievances. Consequently, the remarks were expunged, and the earlier decision rejecting the appellant's representation was set aside. No costs were awarded in this case. |
| Summary |
The case revolves around the appeal filed by Rana NASEERUD DIN against adverse remarks recorded in his Annual Confidential Report (ACR) by the Reporting Officer. The tribunal examined the inquiry report which indicated that the allegations were not substantiated. The tribunal found that the remarks were not only unjustified but also made in a spirit of revenge due to the appellant's medical leave, which the Reporting Officer perceived negatively. The tribunal emphasized the need for fair evaluation and concluded that the adverse remarks could not stand once the appellant was exonerated in the inquiry. This case highlights the significance of due process in evaluating civil servants and the repercussions of personal biases in professional assessments. |
