versus
MEMBER, BOARD OF REVENUE (REV.), PUNJAB, LAHORE and 2 others
Appeal No. 490 of 1990, decided on 26th August, 1991.
Civil service-- -
--- Dismissal from service---Civil servant who was ex-Patwari, was dismissed from service on allegation of tampering with official record after holding various departmental enquiries---Charge of interpolation in Revenue Record against civil servant was corroborated by the fact that in his confidential report, Reporting Officer earlier had observed that civil servant had never hesitated in changing entries in Revenue Record and that he was an unreliable person-- Tampering with official record was a serious offence which could lead to protracted litigation between the parties and at times its consequences could be extremely serious---Penalty of dismissal from service concurrently awarded by Authorities could not be interfered with by Tribunal in appeal as order passed by Authorities not only was well-reasoned, but was based on judicious consideration of facts and merits and civil servant had failed to prove that he had unblemished record of service.
