| Decision |
The appeal was accepted, and the adverse remarks recorded in the ACR for the year 1974 were ordered to be expunged. The court found that the remarks had no valid basis as they were solely based on an oral communication which contradicted the formal assessment of the appellant's integrity. The court highlighted the absence of any complaints against the appellant's integrity over seven years and noted that the appellant's past ACRs rated his integrity as 'Good' and 'Very Good'. Therefore, it was concluded that the impugned remarks were unjustified. |
| Summary |
In this case, the Service Tribunal of Punjab addressed the appeal of Muhammad Ilyas against adverse remarks in his Annual Confidential Report (ACR) for the year 1974. The remarks claimed that he lived beyond his known means and had a bad reputation. However, the Reporting Officer's earlier assessment rated him as 'Good' and confirmed he lived within his means. The Tribunal found that the adverse remarks were solely based on an oral statement by the District and Sessions Judge, which contradicted the formal assessment. The court emphasized that there were no complaints against the appellant's integrity over the years and ordered the remarks expunged, thus accepting the appeal. This case highlights the importance of documented evidence over oral statements in evaluating civil servants' integrity. |
