| Decision |
The appeal filed by S. Muhammad Qasim Rizvi against the adverse remarks recorded by the Reporting Officer was dismissed by the Service Tribunal. The Tribunal found that the Reporting Officer provided substantial grounds for the adverse remarks, and there was no evidence to suggest malice or bias against the appellant. The Assistant Commissioner's detailed comments, which were backed by personal observations, indicated that the appellant had engaged in corrupt practices and had instigated strikes among the staff, supporting the Reporting Officer's claims. As a result, the Tribunal upheld the adverse remarks, concluding that the appellant's long service record did not negate the validity of the current adverse assessment, and therefore the appeal lacked merit. |
| Summary |
In the case of S. Muhammad Qasim Rizvi vs. Commissioner, Bahawalpur Division, the Service Tribunal dealt with an appeal regarding adverse remarks recorded in the appellant's Annual Confidential Report (ACR). The appellant challenged these remarks, citing malice from the Reporting Officer, Mr. B. A. Farooqi. However, the Tribunal found that the Reporting Officer had provided detailed and substantiated reasons for the remarks, which were also countersigned by a higher authority. The Tribunal emphasized that the appellant failed to provide evidence of any malice and noted the Reporting Officer's credibility as an eyewitness. The case highlighted issues of civil service conduct, accountability, and the integrity of reporting mechanisms within government offices. Ultimately, the Tribunal dismissed the appeal, affirming the legitimacy of the adverse remarks, and underscoring the importance of maintaining standards in public service. This case is significant for understanding the procedures of the Punjab Service Tribunals and the legal framework governing civil service evaluations, making it a relevant reference for future cases in similar contexts. |
