' MIR HAZAR KHAN KHOSO, J.---This petition for leave to appeal is directed against the judgment dated 22-6-1994 passed by the Federal Service Tribunal, Islamabad.
2. Facts of the case are that the respondent was Record Keeper and In charge of Maps. The maps were found short. A Board was constituted in respect of the same. Its report was in positive.
Departmental Inquiry Committee was appointed who found the maps short and respondent Abdul Hamid to be negligent in performance of his duty. Show-cause notice was issued to him accordingly. On 15-6-1993 he was reduced to lower grade and recovery of Rs,77,890 was also ordered to be made from him. He filed departmental appeal, but of no avail. The respondent riled appeal before the Federal Service Tribunal, Islamabad. The Tribunal, vide para. 7 of its judgment, set aside the order regarding recovery of Rs,77,890. He was reduced to lower stage in his time scale for a period of two years from the date of passing of the order i,e. 15-6-1993. Against the above said order of the Service Tribunal the Government has come before this Court through this petition.
3. We have heard Raja Muhammad Bashir, Deputy Attorney-General, with Raja Abdul Ghafoor, Advocate-on-Record, for the petitioners and Mr. Muhammad Bashir Kiyani, Advocate Supreme Court with Mr. Ejaz Muhammad Khan, Advocate-on-Record, for the respondent.
4. We have gone through the impugned order. The Service Tribunal has considered all the facts involved in the case. In para. 7 of its judgment the Service Tribunal came to the conclusion that the circumstances create doubt in their minds and extended benefit of doubt in favour of the respondent. But, however, set aside only the order regarding recovery of Rs,77,890. We do not find any fault with its such decision. However, the respondent has not filed any appeal against the reduction of his rank, we, therefore, cannot extend any further benefit in his favour. Under the circumstances we do not see any reason to interfere with the impugned judgment. The leave to appeal is refused and the petition is dismissed accordingly.
