Quashing the adverse entries in the ACR for the year 1976-77 (Annexure B) and in the ACR for the year 1979-80 (Annexure F). 2. Retrospective promotion in the selection Grade of the I.P.S. from 1978 when the juniors of his batch were promoted. 3. Promotion to the post of Super Time Scale, to the rank of D.I.G. with effect from 7.11.81 when his juniors of the batch were promoted, with consequential benefits including arrears of pay etc. 3. O.A. 102 of 1987 was filed by the same officer against initiation of departmental enquiry proceedings and issue of charge sheet on 22.4.1987 in respect of certain incidents that happened in 1975-76 when the said o .....

According to them even in April, 1977 there was doubt about the involvement of the officer in the said irregularities and the investigations were going on since then.

The Tribunal pointed out that on these complaints not even a preliminary enquiry have been completed and that therefore they should not hayed weighed with the Screening Committee. This statement of the Tribunal cannot be said to be an incorrect approach. Normally, pendency or contemplated initiation of disciplinary proceedings against a candidate must be considered to have absolutely no impact upon, to his right to be considered. If the de .....

The learned counsel may be well- founded in the contention relating overlooking of the respondent's claim by the Screening Committee when it met in 1979 by reason of this adverse remark but on that ground we do not want to interfere with the order of the Administrative Tribunal because it had taken into an overall consideration of the entire facts and circumstances of the case in granting the relief. 8.
