| Decision |
In this case, the petitioner, Noor Elahi, who served as Head Clerk in P.A.F., Sargodha, raised concerns regarding the validity of an Annual Confidential Report (A.C.R) issued against him. The petitioner contended that he had a commendable service record over 31 years with only one adverse report issued in 1991. He argued that this report was communicated to him after a significant delay, which violated established procedures under the Confidential Reports guidelines for P.A.F. Civilians. The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal to consider the petitioner's claims regarding the adverse A.C.R. and its implications on his career. This decision underscores the importance of procedural fairness and timely communication in civil service evaluations. |
| Summary |
The case revolves around the procedural concerns related to the issuance of an Annual Confidential Report (A.C.R) for civil servants under the Constitution of Pakistan (1973). The petitioner, Noor Elahi, claims that the sole adverse report he received in his lengthy career was not only unjust but also improperly communicated after several years. This case highlights key legal principles regarding civil service evaluations, fairness in administrative action, and the implications of delayed reporting. The Supreme Court's decision to grant leave to appeal emphasizes the judiciary's role in safeguarding the rights of civil servants against potentially arbitrary administrative actions. In a broader context, this case can inform future legal discussions about employee evaluations, administrative justice, and compliance with established reporting protocols in governmental institutions. |
