| Decision |
The court upheld the decision regarding the civil servant's deconfirmation and removal from the seniority list. The court found that the appointment of the civil servant in the office of Additional Commissioner Consolidation was specific to that office and separate from the permanent establishment of the Commissioner's office. The appointing authority and the competent authority were distinct, and the decision made after considering the merits of the case and hearing the civil servant was in accordance with the law. No illegality or irregularity was found in the order, and thus the appeal was dismissed as being without merit. |
