Civil service--Move-over---Criteria---Expression "generally good" used in Annual Confidential Report of civil servant in relation to move-over ---Connotation--­Average report, not an adverse report---When there is no adverse report against civil servant and he gets "average reports" such reports would have to be treated as ",'generally good" for purpose of move-over---Report of average cannot be treated as adverse unless specifically so treated and then conveyed to the civil servant as an adverse report. The prefixing of the word "generally" itself conveys that in case "generally good" the word "good" would not be taken into its technical extreme. It would not be expected in case of "generally good" that the civil servant should get formally "good" reports. If there is no-adverse report against him and he gets "average reports" they would have to be treated as "generally good" for purpose of move-over. Because a report "average" cannot be treated asy adverse unless specifically so treated and then conveyed to the civil servant as an adverse report. Notwithstanding the grading regarding the average in other aspects of civil service, in the context of move-over expression "generally good", would, amongst others, apply to mixed sort of reports containing good and average reports. Where there was no adverse report and civil servant had earned also three average reports, the effect of all these reports was "generally good" reports. If there is no adverse report against civil servant and he gets "average reports" they have to be treated as "generally good" for purpose of move-over. Because a report of "average" cannot be treated as adverse unless specifically so treated and then coveyed to the civil servant as an adverse report. Muhammad Anwar v.
