| Decision |
The appeal filed by Abdul Majid Javed was accepted by the Service Tribunal, Punjab. The Tribunal found that the decision made by the Deputy Commissioner regarding the appointment of Manzoor Mohsin to the position of Assistant was flawed due to malice and interpolation of test results. The Tribunal highlighted that the Deputy Commissioner had not followed the proper procedures as mandated by law and had acted independently without the necessary scrutiny from the Departmental Selection Committee. The Tribunal ruled that the appellant should be appointed as Assistant, replacing the respondent Manzoor Mohsin. The Tribunal emphasized the importance of adhering to procedural integrity in recruitment processes to ensure fairness and justice within civil service appointments. |
| Summary |
In this pivotal case concerning the Punjab Service Tribunal, Abdul Majid Javed, an Assistant in the Deputy Commissioner's Office, appealed against the decision of the Deputy Commissioner who appointed Manzoor Mohsin, despite Javed scoring higher in the initial recruitment test. The Tribunal found that the appointment process was marred by irregularities, specifically the interpolation of test scores that favored Mohsin. The Tribunal's ruling reinforced the legal principle that decisions made by the District Selection Committee in initial recruitments are not subject to appeal. This case underscores the critical need for transparency and adherence to established protocols in civil service appointments. The decision highlights the Tribunal's role in correcting injustices arising from administrative errors and the significance of maintaining the integrity of recruitment procedures in the public sector. |
