| Decision |
The appeal was decided in favor of the appellant, Liaqat Ali, who had been denied promotion due to adverse remarks in his Annual Confidential Reports (ACRs) that were not communicated to him in a timely manner. The Tribunal found that any adverse entry in a civil servant's ACR must be communicated to allow for departmental representation. Since the adverse remarks were not communicated, they could not be used against the appellant, leading to the decision to remand the case for reconsideration of his eligibility for promotion without the uncommunicated remarks. |
| Summary |
This case pertains to the denial of promotion to Liaqat Ali, an Assistant Security Officer at the Airport Security Force, due to adverse remarks in his ACRs. The Federal Service Tribunal held that adverse remarks must be communicated to the employee, allowing them to address any issues. The failure to communicate these remarks rendered them invalid for consideration in promotion decisions. The case emphasizes the importance of procedural fairness and the rights of civil servants to be informed of their performance evaluations. The Tribunal ordered a review of the promotion decision, ensuring that only valid and communicated remarks were taken into account. This ruling reinforces the principles of transparency and accountability within civil service evaluations, highlighting the need for proper communication and documentation in administrative processes. |
