' SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.---The annual confidential report of the petitioner for the period 1-1-1981 to 13- 7-1981 was recorded by the Assistant Commissioner City, Lahore. He described his performance as compared with the other officers as below average. While drawing his pen picture he observed that the petitioner had been transferred on complaint and required to mend his ways. The Deputy Commissioner who was the first countersigning officer, made the following entries:--- "His performance has been quite fair and at par with that of an average officer."
' The Commissioner who was the second countersigning officer, recorded the following remarks:-- "I agree with the reporting officer."
' In view of the observation made by the Commissioner, the remarks recorded by the Assistant Commissioner were conveyed to the petitioner. He filed a representation for their expunction. His representation was rejected whereupon he preferred an appeal before the Service Tribunal. The learned Tribunal dismissed the appeal. He now seeks leave to appeal from this Court.
2. In support of this petition it is stated that the remarks made by the Assistant Commissioner and endorsed by the Commissioner were contradictory. In this context, reference has been made to Part II of the A.C.R. Wherein the petitioner's performance has been described to be average.
Learned counsel argues that if the petitioner's performance was classed as average in Part II, it could not be described as below average in Part III of the report. There is little merit in this contention, for, in Part III, the performance of an officer is required to be compared with that of the other officers. Even though an officer may be described as average in Part II, his rating can go down when his overall performance is compared with that of the other officers of the same grade.
We can find no inconsistency in this regard.
3. It is not the case of the petitioner that the Assistant Commissioner or the Commissioner had any personal reason to give adverse remarks to him. No question of law arises for consideration in this petition. Leave is refused.
