The Tribunal did not intervene, considering the ACRs not adverse, which was deemed illegal based on legal precedents.The judgment referenced various legal cases, emphasizing the need to communicate reasons for downgrading in ACRs to ensure fairness and transparency. It highlighted that even positive entries could have adverse implications on seniority if not properly communicated. The Court stressed the importance of providing guidance and opportunities for improvement to employees based on their ACRs to prevent adverse impacts on their service profiles. The failure to communicate ACRs with adverse reflections was deemed detrimental to the petitioner's seniority and required reconsideration.In light of the legal principles and precedents discussed, the Court set aside the Tribunal's order and directed the reconsideration of the petitioner's seniority based on the ACRs for the specified years. The Court emphasized the necessity of communicating ACRs with adverse elements to the petitioner and providing an opportunity for review within a specified timeframe. The judgment aimed to rectify the lack of communication regarding downgrading in ACRs and its adverse effects on the petitioner's seniority, ensuring a fair assessment process in line with established legal standards.Overall, the judgment focused on the importance of transparency and communication in assessing ACRs to prevent adverse impacts on an individual's seniority and career progression. It underscored the need for proper documentation and explanation of any downgrading in ACRs to facilitate a fair evaluation process and protect the rights of the concerned employee.
