Orissa HC orders fresh review of 'not trustworthy' remark against judicial officer in CCR
CUTTACK: The Orissa High Court has directed its registrar general to place before the Chief Justice for reconsideration the representation of a judicial officer challenging an adverse Confidential Character Roll (CCR) entry that described him as “not trustworthy”.
A division bench of Justices Manash Ranjan Pathak and Sibo Sankar Mishra allowed the writ petition filed by an officer of the Orissa Superior Judicial Service.
The officer had challenged the adverse remarks communicated to him in October 2022, and the subsequent rejection of his representation in October 2023. He had sought expunction of the remarks and the “average” grading awarded to him for the year 2021.
