The appeal filed by Mr. Khalid Siddique against the adverse remarks in his A.C.R. for the period from 1-7-1990 to 30-6-1991 was allowed. The tribunal found that the remarks were internally contradictory and lacked substantial evidence. The adverse remarks were ordered to be expunged as they were deemed unjustified and counter-productive, with no specific instances provided to support the claims against the appellant. |
| Summary |
In the case of Khalid Siddique vs. Additional Chief Secretary, the Service Tribunal of Punjab addressed the appeal regarding adverse remarks in the A.C.R. of Mr. Siddique, an Excise and Taxation Officer. The tribunal highlighted significant internal contradictions in the assessment of Mr. Siddique's performance, noting that he was described as a mature and balanced individual while simultaneously facing remarks that portrayed him as inefficient and disobedient. The tribunal emphasized the lack of concrete evidence to support the negative assessments, leading to the conclusion that the remarks could not be sustained. The decision to expunge the adverse remarks was rooted in the principles of fairness and justice, ensuring that civil servants are evaluated based on substantiated claims rather than conjecture. This case reinforces the importance of transparent evaluations in public service and the need for specific evidence when making adverse remarks. The ruling is significant for civil servants facing similar challenges in performance assessments, emphasizing the need for objective and evidence-based evaluations in administrative processes. |
