1992 P L C (C
1992 P L C (C.S.) 477
[Federal Service Tribunal]
Before S.M. Ishaq and Ch. Hasan Nawaz, Members
JAVED NAZAR SIDDIQI
versus
CHAIRMAN, P.O.F. WAH CANTT and another
Appeal No. 220(R) of 1989, decided on 29th October, 1991.
(a) Civil service---
Adverse remarks---Adverse remarks against civil servant admittedly pertained to a period much earlier to the year of report of such remarks---Such remarks which were absolutely irrelevant, must be expunged from report in interest of justice, being violative of instructions on the subject.
(b) Civil service---
---- Adverse remarks---Reporting Officer in some parts of his report had rated civil servant as `good' in overall assessment and in some parts he was rated as `average'---Superior Reporting Officer did not differ with Reporting Officer with regard to parts in which civil servant was rated as `good', but regarding overall grading, assessed civil servant as `average'---Overall grading of `average' by superior Reporting Officer who otherwise was authorised to modify report of Reporting Officer, was in no manner inconsistent with assessment of Reporting Officer.
(c) Civil service----
----Adverse remarks---Countersigning Officer, under instructions was to underline in red ink remarks which in his opinion were adverse, but he had not underlined them as such---Compliance with instructions, though would have been advisable, countersigning officer's failure to do the needful alone, would not be sufficient to provide with a ground for expunction of remarks which could possibly be treated as adverse.
M.S. Siddiqui for Appellant.
Saeed Akhtar with Abdul Hamid Khan, D.R. for Respondents.
Date of hearing: 28th October, 1991.
