Judgment & Decree
Date of hearing: 9th January, 2002. Briefly stated the facts leading to the appeal are that in the year 1997, the appellant was posted as Senior Headmistress, Government Girls High School, Mandi Ahmadabad, Tehsil Depalpur, District Okara. Her A.C.R. for the year 1997 contains the following adverse remarks:‑‑ "Work (a) Output Below Average (b) Quality Below Average" Adverse remarks were communicated to the appellant. In the representation against the adverse remarks, the appellant raised the plea that Mrs. Afifa Khanum, S.S.T. Teacher was on maternity leave and thus the result of matric for the year 1997 remained below the Board level. She further stated that the result of Middle Standard Examination of the school for the year 1997 was 99%. She further stated that the result of the matric of the school where she was posted in the year 1996 was 100%. Her explanation was not considered satisfactory. Her representation was rejected vide impugned order on 12‑11‑1999. Hence this appeal.
2. I have heard the learned counsel for the appellant, have perused Departmental Representation, the record and objections to the memorandum of appeal submitted by the respondents.
3. Learned counsel for the appellant argued that there was no complaint against the appellant, The matric results of the schools of the appellant for the years 1996 and 1998 were 100% and 80% respectively. The result of the middle standard examination was 99% in the year 1997. The main reason for the poor result of matric for the year 1997 was due to the fact that the post of S.S.T. Teacher remained vacant due to maternity leave of the incumbent.
4. The respondents in their objections to the memorandum of appeal stated that the appellant was Headmistress of the school and it was her duty to make alternative arrangements for teaching matric classes of. S.S.T. Teacher who was on maternity leave.
5. On query, Departmental Representative stated that there were only 30 students in the matric class. The result of the school was 20% which was below the Secondary Board's result. The maternity leave was for 3 months only. Secondary School Examination is held after 2 years teaching of classes 9th and 10th. The appellant never requested in writing to the higher education authority for providing substitute of S.S.T. Teacher. It was her duty to make alternative arrangements or to herself teach the class because she is basically a teacher. She failed to realize her responsibility and consequently the majority of the students failed and one year of the students was wasted due to the negligence of the appellant: I find no ground to interfere. The appeal is dismissed. There will be no order as to the costs. H.B.T./69/PST???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Appeal dismissed.
