| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition for special leave to appeal filed by the Inspector-General of Police, Punjab. The court held that the remarks recorded in the Annual Confidential Report of Masood Ahmad Khan, a Prosecuting Inspector of Police, were indeed final orders subject to expunction by a higher authority. The court found that entries in the Annual Confidential Reports are part of the terms and conditions of service and can be the basis for retiring an employee. The decision of the Punjab Service Tribunal to expunge the remarks was upheld, emphasizing the importance of fair evaluation in public service. |
