Maneka Gandhi vs Union Of India on 25 January, 1978
"19. In our opinion, every entry in the A.C.R. of a public servant must be
communicated to him within a reasonable period, whether it is a poor,
fair, average, good or very good entry. This is because non-
communication of such an entry may adversely affect the employee in

unjustified, and pray for its upgradation. Hence non-communication of
an entry is arbitrary, and it has been held by the Constitution Bench

arbitrariness violates Article 14 of the Constitution.
