She has also submitted that the ratio of the judgment in the case of U.P. Jal Nigam v. Prabhat Chandra Jainas well as other judgments cited by Mr. Pathak, learned Counsel for the applicant has no application to the facts of the instant case. The DPC is required to follow the DOPT' s guidelines and as per the guidelines, only adverse remarks were required to be communicated to the officer concerned. Since there were no adverse remarks in the ACR of the applicant, the same were not communicated to him. The DPC was however, fully justified in assessing the applicant on the basis of the ACRs of the last five years which disentitled him for further promotions.
