Judgment & Decree

Constitution of Pakistan (1973)‑‑ ‑‑‑Art. 212(3)‑‑Civil service‑‑Petitioner, a Patwari was dismissed from service as a result of departmental proceedings, for preparing a false copy of Khasra Girdawari for another person who attempted to procure land on basis thereof Departmental appeal as well as appeal before Service Tribunal was also dismissed‑‑Explanation given by petitioner was rejected by department and Service Tribunal‑‑No reason existed to take a different view in the matter Leave to appeal refused. Ch. Mushtaq Masood, Advocate Supreme Court and Ch. Mehdi Khan Mehtab, Advocate‑on‑Record for Petitioner. Nemo for Respondents. Date of hearing: 20th July. 1988. SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.‑‑The petitioner was a Patwari. He prepared a false copy of the Khasra Girdawari and gave it to Abdul Ghaffar and some others who attempted to procure land in Cholistan on the basis of that copy. Departmental proceedings were held against him and as a result he was dismissed from service. His appeals before the Commissioner and the Service Tribunal remained unsuccessful. He now seeks leave to appeal from this Court.

2. I is not disputed before us that the petitioner had in fact prepared the false copy. His explanation is that the person who was recorded in the Khasra Girdawari as tenant had assured him that it was not he but those whom he mentioned in the copy were the actual tenants in the land in dispute. This explanation was rejected by the departmental authorities and the learned Tribunal and we find no reason to take a different view in the matter. The petition is dismissed. M.Y.H./J‑33/S Petition dismissed.
