Decision The appeal by Munir Ahmad was brought against the order dated 25-5-1994, in which he was not promoted to the post of Assistant Manager despite having thirty years of service. The tribunal found that the reasons provided by the department for not promoting him were contradictory to the service records, which showed that his performance had been rated as good and very good during the relevant years. The tribunal determined that a fair and just treatment had not been afforded to the appellant and remanded the case for reconsideration of his promotion to BPS-11. The department was instructed to review his case within two months based on their own assessment of his service record.
