29As regards the alleged infringement of Article 26 of the Staff Regulations, the Court of First Instance pointed out, at paragraph 102, that the purpose of that provision is to guarantee compliance with an official's defence rights by ensuring that decisions taken by the appointing authority affecting his administrative status are not based on matters concerning his conduct which are not included in his personal file (see Case T-82/89 Marcato v Commission [1990] ECR II-735, paragraph 78; Case T-76/92 Tsirimokos v Parliament [1993] ECR II-1281, paragraphs 33 to 35; Case T-109/92 Lacruz Bassols v Court of Justice [1994] ECR-SC II-105, paragraph 68). The contested decision, being a measure taken in the interests of the service, and not a disciplinary measure or one affecting Mr Ojha's administrative status or career, the latter could not claim any infringement of Article 26 of the Staff Regulations.
