The appeal was accepted, and the adverse remarks against Muhammad Javed Qureshi were ordered to be expunged from his Annual Confidential Report (ACR). The Tribunal found that the adverse remarks were unjustified, given that the appellant had been exonerated from the charges in a regular inquiry. The previous and subsequent records of the appellant were consistent and spoke positively about his service. The decision emphasized that adverse remarks should not persist when their basis has disappeared. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the appeal filed by Muhammad Javed Qureshi against adverse remarks recorded in his Annual Confidential Report (ACR) during his service as an Assistant Executive Engineer. The Service Tribunal, led by Chairman Muhammad Aslam Pirzada, evaluated the appeal based on the context of a prior inquiry that exonerated the appellant from the charges leading to the adverse remarks. The case highlights the principles of fairness and justification in civil service evaluations. It underscores the importance of maintaining a consistent and accurate service record, especially when adverse remarks can significantly impact a civil servant's career. The Tribunal's judgment reinforces that such remarks are unwarranted if the basis for them is no longer valid, thereby promoting a just and equitable treatment of civil servants. The decision concluded with the expunction of the adverse remarks, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in the evaluation processes within civil service. Keywords such as 'civil service', 'adverse remarks', 'Annual Confidential Report', and 'service tribunal' are highly relevant in this context, making this case significant for understanding the legal framework surrounding civil service evaluations. |
