Counsel for the parties heard. It is apparent from the record that the petitioner was promoted to the post of Officiating Assistant Sub Inspector of Police on 26.3.2001 vide order Annexure P.1. Reading of the order referred to above clearly indicates that his promotion was provisional/temporary and he was to be regularized thereafter, keeping in view his record. It is not in dispute that for the period from 5.5.2001 to 31.3.2002, following adverse remarks were given to the petitioner: “1. Honesty Doubtful (Punishment of censure given ) 2.

Asstt Sub Inspector Narinder Singh No.86/PKL be informed about these adverse remarks and asked to remove these short comings. Signatures of the employee with date be obtained on enclosed second copy and be sent to this office as Acknowledgement.” Taking note of the adverse remarks given to him, when his case was considered for regularization against the post referred to above, it was decided to revert him from the post of ASI vide the impugned order and accordingly a show cause notice was issued to him. On getting reply, order dated 9.7.2007, (P.9) was passed reverting him to the post of Head Constable. It is not in dispute that the petitioner made representation against adverse remarks given to him. His representation was dismissed. He also lost in appeal. As such, on today, adverse remarks against him are final. It is contention of counsel for the petitioner that as the petitioner has improved his work and conducts after getting adverse remarks report and thereafter he has got good reports for all the years, he cannot be reverted to the post in question. C.W.P.NO.9781 of 2007 #3# We feel that the argument raised is liable to be rejected. It is very clear that for the particular period, honesty of the petitioner was found to be doubtful and he was found to be of a bad moral character. As per law, only one such entry is sufficient to take action, which has been taken in the present case. Dismissed. ( JASBIR SINGH ) JUDGE February 06, 2008 ( JASWANT SINGH ) manoj JUDGE
