| Decision |
The appeal was allowed, and the adverse remarks recorded against Akhtar Ali, Sub-Inspector Police, were ordered to be expunged. The tribunal found that the adverse remarks were unjustified as the appellant had demonstrated excellent performance both before and after the incident leading to the remarks. It was noted that the appellant was confirmed as Sub-Inspector and selected for an elite posting despite the remarks. The tribunal emphasized the principle that adverse remarks should not be recorded until the conclusion of a trial, and even after, only the final result should be reflected in the personal file of the civil servant. |
| Summary |
In the case of Akhtar Ali vs. Superintendent of Police, the Service Tribunal of Punjab addressed the issue of adverse remarks recorded against a police official, Akhtar Ali, during a departmental inquiry. The tribunal ruled in favor of Akhtar Ali, emphasizing that the remarks were a result of unproven allegations related to a murder case for which he was acquitted. The tribunal noted that Akhtar Ali's performance records were exemplary, and he had received confirmation and was selected for an elite squad shortly after the remarks were recorded. The decision to expunge the remarks was grounded in the principle of fair treatment and the need for due process in recording adverse remarks in a civil servant's record. This case highlights the importance of maintaining integrity in performance evaluations and ensuring that unproven allegations do not tarnish an individual's career.
