KANADE JJ. DATE : 28TH JANUARY 2008. -2- P.C. :- 1. By this petition, the petitioner challenges the order passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal, Mumbai Bench. By that order, the M.A.T. has rejected the application filed by the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner in the application was that his annual confidential report for the year 2002-2003 should have been upgraded from B to A. The representation of the petitioner for upgradation of annual confidential report for the year 2001-2002 has been rejected by the Government and therefore, he approached the M.A.T. for direction to reconsider that representation. After considering the representation, the Government upgraded the remarks for the year 2002-2003 but maintained the remarks for the year 2001-2002. Against this, the petitioner again approached the M.A.T. The M.A.T. has gone through the record and found that so far as the general assessment for two years is concerned, it is same but the gradations are different. After having heard learned counsel for both the sides and after having gone through the record, we find that the area or scope for interference in the matter is extremely limited. The remarks were written by high ranked officer against whom -3- no allegation or malice is made. We find that no illegality in the order of the M.A.T. Petition is rejected. . Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of the Court. . Certified copy expedited. ( D.K. DESHMUKH J.) ( V.M. KANADE J.)
