APAR Can't Be Interfered With If It Complies With Guidelines And Is Not Actuated By Malice', Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court ruled that the Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR) cannot be interfered with if it complies with guidelines and is not motivated by malice. The case involved a government employee challenging the APAR evaluation, alleging bias. The Court clarified that APARs are subject to departmental rules and cannot be revised unless there is a clear violation of guidelines or malintent. This decision upholds the integrity of the appraisal system and ensures that employees are evaluated fairly, based on established criteria, without the influence of personal biases.
