| Decision |
The appeal filed by Muhammad Shafi was dismissed by the Punjab Service Tribunal. The Tribunal held that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the appeal against the order dated 9-6-1969 since it was made prior to the cut-off date of 1st July 1969 established by section 4(1)(c) of the Punjab Service Tribunals Act, 1974. Additionally, the Tribunal found that the adverse entries in the appellant's A.C.R. justified the denial of his request to move to a higher pay scale (N.P.S. 14) from N.P.S. 13. As such, the order of the Chief Conservator of Forests denying the appellant's request was deemed valid and lawful. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around a service dispute involving Muhammad Shafi, who sought relief against an order that reverted him from the position of Senior Superintendent. The Punjab Service Tribunal concluded that it could not adjudicate on the appeal due to jurisdictional limitations, as the order being contested was made before the stipulated date of 1st July 1969. The appellant argued that he was unjustly denied a promotion to N.P.S. 14 due to adverse remarks in his confidential reports. However, the Tribunal upheld the validity of the adverse entries, thereby affirming the decision of the Chief Conservator of Forests. This case underscores the importance of adhering to procedural timelines and the impact of performance evaluations on career progression within civil service frameworks.
