| Decision |
The appeal was accepted by the tribunal. The adverse remarks communicated to the appellant regarding his performance were found to be unjustified. The tribunal noted that the remarks contradict the positive entries in the A.C.R., where the appellant had successfully finalized fourteen out of sixteen cases. The tribunal emphasized that a single instance of warning was insufficient to label the appellant as inefficient for the entire year. Consequently, the tribunal expunged the adverse remarks from the record, highlighting the importance of fair evaluation based on comprehensive performance reviews. |
