| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as it was found to be devoid of merit. The adverse remarks recorded in the Appellant's Annual Confidential Reports (A.C.Rs) were upheld, with the Tribunal concluding that the remarks for the period 1979 were adverse, while those for the years 1980, 1981, 1982, and 1984 were largely advisory in nature. The Appellant's claims regarding procedural violations and the legitimacy of the adverse remarks were found to lack sufficient evidence, and the Tribunal emphasized the importance of adhering to the guidelines set forth by the Supreme Court. The decision reinforced the legal standing of the reporting officers' assessments and the necessity for civil servants to maintain their professional conduct. |
| Summary |
In the case of Khalil Ahmad vs. Government of Sind, the Sindh Service Tribunal addressed the appeal filed by Khalil Ahmad, a registrar at the Sind Labour Appellate Tribunal, against adverse remarks in his A.C.Rs. The Tribunal considered the arguments presented by both the Appellant and the counsel for the respondents. The Appellant contended that the remarks were improperly recorded and communicated after he had relinquished his duties. However, the Tribunal found that the remarks for the year 1979 were indeed adverse, while those for subsequent years were primarily advisory in nature. The Tribunal referred to the precedent set by the Supreme Court in the case Government of Punjab and another v. Ehsanul Haq Sethi, emphasizing the distinction between adverse and advisory remarks. The Appellant's failure to provide adequate evidence to support his claims led to the dismissal of the appeal. This case highlights the importance of maintaining accurate A.C.Rs and the legal implications of improper documentation in civil service evaluations.
