The Tribunal found that the D.I.G. of Police had acted within his authority under Police Rules when he reduced the appellant's rank based on a poor performance record and misconduct allegations. The Tribunal emphasized that the D.I.G. was competent to monitor the conduct and efficiency of police officials and to make decisions regarding their promotion or demotion. The appeal was rejected as lacking merit. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around an appeal made by Gul Muhammad, a Head Constable, against the orders of the D.I.G. of Police, Multan Range, who had reduced his rank from A.S.I. to Head Constable and removed his name from List 'D' due to allegations of misconduct and poor performance. The Service Tribunal, Punjab, upheld the D.I.G.'s decision, citing his authority under the Police Rules of 1934, which allows for such actions based on an official's conduct. The Tribunal also noted that the appellant had previously been reinstated after being dismissed but failed to adequately address the ongoing concerns regarding his performance. The final ruling dismissed the appeal, highlighting the importance of maintaining discipline and accountability within the police force. This case underscores key aspects of police regulations and the authority of supervisory roles within law enforcement agencies. |
