| Decision |
The appeals were dismissed as they were found to be devoid of merit. The Service Tribunal upheld the selection process for the lower school course, emphasizing that only those constables likely to be sent for the course should be included in list 'B'. The rationale was to select the best talent available, ensuring that the number of candidates on the list matched the available seats for the training course. The Tribunal highlighted that the rules were correctly followed and that the grievances raised by the appellants were not sufficient to warrant any interference with the selections made by the authorities. The decision made it clear that the appellants were entitled to take the examination in accordance with the rules, although their appeals were dismissed without any order as to costs. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the appeals made by constables regarding their exclusion from list 'B' for a lower school course under the Punjab Service Tribunals Act. The appellants argued that they were unfairly not included despite passing the necessary examinations. The Tribunal examined the selection process and the relevant Police Rules, concluding that the selection was made fairly and in accordance with the established criteria. The ruling emphasized the importance of adhering to rules that ensure only those constables likely to attend the training are selected, thereby maintaining a high standard of candidates. This decision reinforces the significance of procedural compliance in administrative matters, particularly in police training and personnel selection.
