ORDER

1. ' SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.--The petitioner was a Telephone Operator working at the Lahore Airport Telegraph Office. He was required to collect money at the rate of 85 paisas per call from the members of the public who used the facility of telephone installed in his office and to issue receipts to them. On 26-12-1979, the Deputy Engineer and two Assistant Engineers visited the petitioner's office incognito and watched the petitioner. They noticed that he was neither issuing any receipt nor, occasionally, returning the change. He was charge-sheeted and after a regular departmental inquiry, by way of penalty, his pay was reduced to the minimum of his time scale. He filed an appeal before the Federal Service Tribunal. The learned Tribunal partly accepted the appeal inasmuch as the penalty imposed upon him was varied to reduction by two steps in the time scale.

2. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, we are not satisfied that any case for interference with the order of the learned Tribunal has been made out.The petitioner does not dispute that three senior officers of his department observed him in his office while committing irregularities. It was not his ease that these officers had any reason to make false accusations against him. The petition is dismissed.
