| Decision |
The appellant, Muhammad Ali, was serving as Head Constable but was not promoted to the rank of A.S.-I despite having an unblemished service record. The Tribunal held that the appellant was entitled to confirmation in the rank of Head Constable from the date of his promotion due to the slackness of the departmental authority. The Tribunal directed the department to confirm him as Head Constable and allow his officiating promotion to A.S.-I from the date his next junior was promoted. The decision emphasized the need for equal treatment of police officials and the importance of adherence to departmental rules regarding promotions and training courses. |
