| Decision |
The Federal Service Tribunal accepted the appeal of Sami-ur-Rehman, the appellant, and expunged the adverse remarks recorded in his Annual Confidential Report for the year 1982. The Tribunal highlighted that the countersigning officer's views, being the Head of the Department, were more relevant and unbiased. The adverse remarks were deemed unjustifiable, especially considering the appellant's circumstances during the year, including a leg fracture that limited his physical activity. The Tribunal directed that the overall grade for the appellant's report for 1981 be upgraded appropriately, emphasizing the importance of fair evaluation in civil service assessments. |
| Summary |
In the case of Sami-ur-Rehman vs. Chief Secretary to Government of Punjab, the Federal Service Tribunal addressed the issue of adverse remarks recorded in the appellant's Annual Confidential Report (ACR) for the year 1982. The case revolved around the appellant's performance as Superintendent of Police in Rahim Yar Khan, where he faced adverse remarks despite having good evaluations in the preceding and succeeding years. The Tribunal found that the countersigning officer's views, which supported the appellant, were not given due consideration. The decision highlighted the significance of unbiased assessments in civil service, particularly under challenging personal circumstances. The Tribunal's ruling to expunge the adverse remarks underscores the need for fair treatment in public service evaluations, particularly in the context of health-related issues impacting job performance. The case sets a precedent for the importance of thorough and just evaluations in civil service, ensuring that external factors do not unduly influence performance assessments.
