JUDGMENT M. SALEEM CHAUDHRY (CHAIRMAN).-In this case the appellant is an Ex-Senior Clerk of the Office of Deputy Commissioner, Multan and is aggrieved by the order of D. C., Multan dated 20th May, 1978 dismissing him from the service on charges of corruption under E & D Rules, 1975. He is also aggrieved by the order of Commissioner, Multan, dated 10th August, 1979 rejecting his appeal against the order of the D. C., Multan. The present appeal was filed before this Tribunal on 4th of October, 1979.

Two amounts of Rs. 4,397.25 and Rs. 13.999.26 on account of compensation for the land of said Malik Wahid Bakhsh were lying in the Government Treasury under Revenue Deposit for payment to the owner. Out of these two amounts, a refund voucher for the heavy amount of Rs. 13,999.26 was prepared by you and handed over to an unauthorised person, despite the fact that the actual land owner i.e. Malik Wahid Bakhsh had died in the year 1963. This embezzlement/fraud was committed with your connivance because the deceased Wahid Bakhsh was a big transporter and prominent social figure of Multan and none could dare to depose himself as said Malik Wahid Bakhsh without your connivance. Accordingly, a criminal case under section 409/420, P. P. C. was registered against you and your co-accused with the Police. (2) By reason of the above, you appear to be-­ (a) inefficient within the meanings of rule 3 (a), (b) corrupt within the meaning of rule 3 (c) of the Punjab Civil Servants' E. & D.…
