Judgment & Decree
GOVERNMENT OF SINDH through Chief Secretary and 2 others Appeal No. 77/90, heard on 9th April, 1991.
Punishment of reduction in Pay Scale
Civil servant who was Excise and Taxation Inspector, detected two cases in which some quantity of heroin powder was recovered from accused persons who were convicted by Trial Court
Accused went in appeal, but pending appeal, civil servant allegedly destroyed case property involved in cases against accused persons
On account of premature destruction of case property, civil servant was charge -sheeted and after due enquiry civil servant was found guilty and was dismissed from service
Appellate Authority and finally the Service Tribunal reduced his sentence from dismissal to reduction in his pay scale for one year
Pending trial of criminal cases against accused persons, heroin, which was property involved in the cases, was entirely at disposal of Court concerned and was to be preserved and kept intact until Court made any spec order as regards its disposal
Civil servant, who being Excise and Taxation Officer had investigated cases against accused persons, was obliged to ascertain about Court's orders with regard to disposal of case property involved in cases, but he showed so much callousness that despite pendency of appeals of accused persons, he destroyed case property prematurely without any plausible reasons
Civil servant certainly was negligent as he did not care to enquire about Court's order with regard to disposal of case property and thus was responsible for premature destruction of case property
Punishment of reducing pay scale, awarded to civil servant, which was already lenient, would not call for any interference. Manzoor Ali Khan for Appellant. M. Aqil Awan for Respondents. Date of hearing: 9th April, 1991.
