MACP Scheme | Quashed ACRs Cannot Be Reused to Deny Financial Upgradation: CAT Ernakulam
The Central Administrative Tribunal holds that administrative authorities cannot rely on ACRs previously set aside by court order to deny financial upgradation under the MACP Scheme, reinforcing that service benefits must be assessed on legally valid records alone. This protects public employees from retrospective penalization based on invalidated evaluations and strengthens the doctrine of consistency in administrative decision-making.
