versus

Appeal No. 172(K) of 1986, decided on 29th October, 1991.
(a) Civil service---
---- Adverse remarks---Annual confidential reports are observations of the' reporting officer on performance of officials reported upon during relevant year and good reports of past years would not necessarily carry certificate for earning good reports in subsequent years, particularly when individual reported upon has held different assignments at different times---Earlier good reports in the case, were on performance of civil servant as a National. Savings Officer, but adverse remarks recorded in her A.C.R. in disputed year were on her performance as Assistant Director which carried higher responsibilities-- Adverse impressions recorded by reporting officer had not to be accepted as a last word, but they need to be justified if questioned and for that purpose consideration of previous A.C.R's was one of relevant factors---Good report on performance of civil servant during last quarter of year previous to disputed year, which was initial period of civil servant's promotion as Assistant Director, could be a tentative evaluation of her performance.
(b) Civil service---
---- Adverse remarks---Adverse remarks, recorded by originating officer were concurred with by countersigning officer and were not vague as to be unintelligible and they were justified by written documents---No bias of reporting officer in writing adverse remarks was proved---No delay was made in communicating remarks to civil servant and no such objection was agitated in case---In view of special circumstances of case, certain remarks were modified while others were maintained.
