Judgment & Decree
MA. Riaz and Ch. Manzoor Hussain, DA. for Appellant. Nemo for Respondents. Arguments heard. The learned counsel for the appellant has raised the following basic legal and factual objections:-- (i) Under Serial No. 21 of the Schedule to the I G.P's Standing Order No. 32 the authority for purposes of initiating the Confidential Reports in respect of the A.S.Is. is Superintendent of Police and not the D.S.P. Hence the remarks recorded by the then D.S.P., Naulakha, Lahore in the impugned Confidential Report are invalid being incompetent. (ii) The incident which has been made the basis of this Confidential Report occurred outside the period of the report in question. This report covers the period 10-6-1981 to 18-12-1981 whereas the said incident occurred on 19-12-1981. It could not, therefore, be made the basis of recording the impugned remarks. (iii) Again, the impugned report is based on an incident/enquiry in which the appellant has already been exonerated by the appellate authority i.e. the D.I.-G., Lahore Range/respondent No.
2. Since the very order on which these remarks were manifestly based has been set aside, there is no justification to maintain it any further.
2. The learned District Attorney could not successfully controvert the above contentions of the learned counsel for the appellant, which is also borne out from the record and the rules on the subject. The appeal is accordingly accepted and the impugned adverse remarks are expunged. There are no orders as to costs. M.Y.H./331/Sr. P Appeal allowed.
