Appeal No. 1840 (L) of 1978 |
| Decision Date |
Oct 10, 1982 |
| Hearing Date |
Sep 21, 1982 |
| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed on the grounds that the appellant was promoted to Grade-16 based on an incorrect date of continuous officiation, which was later proven to be erroneous. The Departmental Promotion Committee, upon discovering the mistake, recommended that the appellant be demoted back to Grade-11. The Tribunal found that the committee's actions were justified, and the appellant's claims regarding his seniority and the promotion of his peers were not substantiated by the evidence presented. As such, the decision to demote him was upheld, with no costs awarded. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the demotion of a civil servant, Aqir Muhammad Ansari, who challenged his demotion from Grade-16 to Grade-11 following a promotion that was based on an incorrect officiation date. The Federal Service Tribunal scrutinized the actions of the Departmental Promotion Committee, which had initially approved his promotion based on the wrong date. Upon review, it was revealed that the committee would not have recommended the appellant for promotion had they been aware of the correct officiation date. The Tribunal upheld the demotion, emphasizing the importance of accurate records in civil service promotions. This case highlights the critical nature of maintaining accurate employment records and the implications of errors within departmental processes.
