Headnotes / Summary

Annual Confidential Report

Adverse remarks

Civil Servant's departmental appeal against such remarks was dismissed

Adverse remarks against civil servant were shared by high officers of the Department who concurred with the views of Reporting Officer

Civil servant's target of attack was Reporting Officer against whom he levelled allegations of personal bias which remained unproved

Civil servant could not explain as to why high officers of the Department had endorsed adverse remarks given to him by the Reporting Officer

Officers occupying high positions in Department were least expected to support adverse report emanating from officer of lower level without applying their own mind particularly when they were aware that remarks they supported were capable of ruining future of civil servant

Corroboration of adverse remarks by high officers of the Department was, thus free from any taint.

S.4

Appeal against adverse remarks

Allegations of personal bias against Reporting Officer remaining unproved on record

Evidence sought to be produced against Reporting Officer was some hand written applications addressed to high officer

Such applications had come from custody of civil servant and not from the custody of officer to whom they were addressed; as such they were worthless having no evidentiary value

Record showed that civil servant had faced several departmental enquiries in some of which he had even been punished

No reason was thus, pointed out to interfere with adverse remarks in question. Zawar Hussain Shah, AA: G. for the Government
