Judgment & Decree
Rana Mehmood Ali Khan, Representative for Appellant. Nemo for Respondents. Date of hearing: 1st April, 1996. The appellant was an employee of Tando Allahyar Municipal Committee as a sweeper but it was found that he was actually working with the Telecommunication Department in the same capacity and drawing double salary. He was charge‑sheeted and found guilty and subsequently dismissed from service by the Municipal Committee in 1991. This case had been detected by the Anti‑Corruption Department.
2. It has been argued by Mr. Rana Mehmood Ali Khan on behalf of the appellant that the appellant was retired from service prematurely on medical grounds with effect from 1‑2‑1988. Such order alongwith Medical Certificate of Civil Surgeon, Services Hospital, Tando Allahyar has been produced.
3. Thus, the appellant was not in active service of the Municipal Committee but he was a Pensioner drawing his pension from Municipality. Possibly he joined the Municipality as a regular sweeper without disclosing that he had already retired on invalid pension. In any case his conduct has been dishonest and he has not come to the Court with clean hands.
4. I can, therefore, see no reason to interfere with the order of the Labour Court. The order of the Labour Court is maintained and the appeal is dismissed. H.B.T./117/Lb.S Appeal dismissed.
