| Decision |
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, affirming the discretion of the competent authority regarding the stopping of increments at the efficiency bar. The appellant's arguments failed to demonstrate that the authority's decision was made without legal basis or mala fide intent. The Tribunal found that the competent authority's decision was supported by the appellant's performance and conduct, which were deemed unsatisfactory. The Tribunal also addressed the appellant's claim regarding the irregularity of suspension, concluding that while there was a delay in obtaining approval for the continuance of suspension, this did not prejudice the appellant's case. Therefore, the appeal was dismissed without any order as to costs. |
