| Decision |
The case revolves around the appeal of Muhammad Munawar against the decision of the Promotion/Selection Committee, which denied him promotion due to outstanding government dues. The Tribunal found that the treatment of Munawar was discriminatory, as colleagues with larger dues were promoted. The Tribunal directed the respondents to reconsider the promotion of Munawar based on principles of equity and justice, emphasizing that his service record was satisfactory after the clearance of dues. |
| Summary |
This case addresses issues of civil service promotion and discrimination within the Punjab Food Department. Muhammad Munawar, a Foodgrain Inspector, appealed against his denial of promotion to Assistant Food Controller due to an outstanding debt of Rs. 20,441. The case highlights the discrepancies in the treatment of employees with similar outstanding dues, where others were promoted despite larger amounts owed. This led to a remand for reconsideration of Munawar's case based on principles of justice and fair play. The decision underscores the importance of equitable treatment in public service promotions, ensuring that employees are not unjustly penalized for recoverable debts when others with larger debts are promoted. The ruling serves as a precedent for cases involving civil service promotions and the application of efficiency and discipline rules, focusing on fairness and the integrity of the promotion process. |
