| Decision |
The appeal filed by Abdur Rahim Khan against the reversion order dated 5-6-1979 was dismissed by the Service Tribunal. The Tribunal found that the reversion from the post of Officiating Sub-Inspector to the substantive rank of Assistant Sub-Inspector was justified based on the appellant's chequered service record. The Tribunal upheld that the removal from list 'E' indicated unsuitability for the officiating position and that such reversion did not constitute punishment. The adverse remarks in the appellant's record were deemed valid, and the Tribunal refused to interfere with the decision made by the authorities. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the appeal of Abdur Rahim Khan, a former Assistant Sub-Inspector (A.S.I.) in the Punjab Police, against his reversion to a lower rank due to a poor service record. The Service Tribunal of Punjab upheld the reversion, emphasizing that an officiating appointment does not guarantee continued service in that role if the individual is found unsuitable. The Tribunal's ruling was based on the examination of the appellant's service history, which included multiple adverse remarks. The judgment reinforced the principle that civil service appointments are contingent upon performance and adherence to departmental standards. This decision is significant in the context of civil service law as it clarifies the rights and limitations of officials in temporary positions. Keywords include 'Punjab Service Tribunal', 'civil service reversion', 'officiating appointment', 'police service law', 'performance evaluation', and 'administrative justice'. |
