Appeal No. 571(R) of 1996 |
| Decision Date |
Jan 14, 1997 |

Jan 08, 1997 |
| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the appellant was denied promotion due to an indifferent service record and adverse entries in his Annual Confidential Report (A.C.R). The tribunal found that the appellant's claim for ante-dated promotion was not maintainable as he had not challenged his supersession in a timely manner and failed to demonstrate adequate grounds for promotion. The delay in filing the appeal was also noted, making it time-barred. The tribunal ruled that the earlier decisions of the Establishment Division regarding the appellant's promotion were valid and should be upheld. Thus, the appeal lacked merit and was dismissed without costs. |
| Summary |
In this case, the Federal Service Tribunal addressed the appeal of a civil servant regarding the denial of ante-dated promotion. The appellant contended that he deserved promotion to the grade of Assistant Professor effective from a date earlier than granted due to the promotion of his juniors. The tribunal evaluated the appellant's service record, which included adverse entries in his A.C.R. and penalties imposed for prior misconduct. The court emphasized that the appellant did not challenge his promotion supersession in a timely manner, and the lack of timely action contributed to the dismissal of his appeal. The judgment referenced relevant laws, including the Civil Servants Act and the Service Tribunals Act, affirming that the promotion decisions were justified based on the appellant's service history. The case highlights the importance of maintaining a clean service record and adhering to procedural timelines in promotion appeals. |
