| Decision |
The appeal filed by Abdul Aziz was dismissed as hopelessly time-barred without delving into the merits of the case. The tribunal highlighted that the appellant had filed multiple representations against adverse remarks recorded in his Annual Confidential Report for the year 1975, which were rejected over time. The tribunal disapproved of the practice of filing unnecessary representations to extend the period of limitation, concluding that the appeal could not be entertained due to the lack of timely action from the appellant's side. The decision emphasized the importance of adhering to procedural rules regarding limitations in service matters. |
| Summary |
In the case of Abdul Aziz vs. The Inspector-General of Police, Punjab, the Service Tribunal addressed the issue of adverse remarks recorded in the Annual Confidential Report (A.C.R.) of the appellant for the year 1975. The tribunal examined the repeated representations made by Abdul Aziz, which were rejected on various occasions. The primary legal question revolved around the limitation period for filing such appeals under the Service Tribunals Act, 1974. The tribunal ruled that the appellant's continued attempts to contest the remarks through successive representations did not extend the limitation period and were deemed ineffective. The judgment reinforced the tribunal's stance against unnecessary procedural delays and emphasized the need for timely appeals in service-related matters. This case underscores the importance of understanding the procedural requirements and the implications of filing appeals outside the stipulated time frame, which can significantly impact the outcomes in similar legal contexts. |
