Headnotes / Summary

Annual Confidential Report

Non-countersigning by respondent official-- Remedy

High Court directed Advocate-General to bring the order of Court to the notice of respondents forthwith to ensure that Annual Confidential Report in question was placed before appropriate Selection Board when case of petitioner was considered for promotion alongwith others. Piecemeal consideration of cases of the concerned employees for promotion by the Departmental Selection Committee concerned would lead to undue frustration amongst the Government servants. It would also encourage litigation and choke the courts/tribunals with business. Earnest efforts should, therefore, be made by all concerned to avoid the factors, which lead to such litigation, in the public interest and also to avoid burden on the public exchequer in defending such petty disputes at State expenses but otherwise have a direct bearing on the future prospects of an employee. It is expected that in future the time schedule laid down by the Government through various instructions/standing orders issued from time to time for recording of Annual Confidential. Reports would be strictly adhered to.
