| Decision |
The Service Tribunal directed that the civil servant, who was a Police officer, should be deemed to have been admitted to list 'F' from the due date due to discriminatory treatment in his promotion process. After more than 2-1/2 years of delay following the recommendation for commendation and promotion, the Tribunal recognized the unjust delay in promotion compared to other officers with similar gallantry services. This decision aims to uphold fairness and ensure that civil servants receive timely recognition and appropriate promotions for their meritorious services. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the promotion of a civil servant who had been recommended for a commendation award and subsequent promotion due to gallant services rendered during a criminal case. Despite the recommendation from the Superintendent of Police, the promotion was unjustly delayed for over 2-1/2 years, while other officers received prompt promotions. The Service Tribunal intervened, ruling that the civil servant should be retroactively recognized as being on the promotion list 'F' from the original due date, highlighting issues of fairness and equal treatment in civil service promotions. This case emphasizes the importance of timely recognition of service and the need for equitable treatment among civil servants. Key terms include civil service, promotion, discrimination, and commendation. |
