| Decision |
The appeal has been accepted, and the adverse remark regarding the integrity of the appellant, which was marked as 'controversial' for the year 1982, has been found unjustified. The Tribunal noted that the Deputy Inspector-General of Police failed to provide specific instances to justify the negative remark. The appellant's prior commendations and lack of any documented complaints against his integrity during the period in question further supported the decision to expunge the adverse entry. The Tribunal emphasized the importance of evidence and justification in recording such remarks and reiterated that arbitrary remarks cannot be upheld. |
| Summary |
In the case of TAUQIR HAYAT vs. DEPUTY INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF POLICE RAWALPINDI RANGE, the Service Tribunal of Punjab examined the adverse remarks made against the police officer's integrity.

The Tribunal found that there were no complaints or justifications for the adverse remark, as the appellant had received commendations for his good work during that period. The decision highlighted the need for concrete evidence when making integrity assessments in civil service evaluations. The Tribunal accepted the appeal and expunged the adverse remarks, reinforcing that such assessments must be based on documented evidence rather than vague generalizations. This case is pivotal for civil servants, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a fair and justified evaluation process. |
