ISLAMABAD
\nAn administrative judge of the Islamabad High Court has endorsed the decision of the IHC registrar to send a Class-IV servant on compulsory retirement for using the official vehicle of a lady judge of the IHC without permission.
\nAdministrative judge Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayni gave the decision on the departmental appeal of servant Ishaq. He had filed an appeal against the registrar\u2019s decision of compulsory retirement.
\nThe TLTP learnt that the IHC judgment said, \u201cIshaq, who was formerly employed at the IHC, was working as a waiter in the house of Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz. He admitted that he used the judge\u2019s vehicle at midnight on February 25 last without permission.\u201d
\n\u201cThe employee did not feel the sensitivity of taking the vehicle 110km away. He was not even allowed to sit in the driver\u2019s seat of the car. The danger and consequences expected from this action of the employee cannot be ignored,\u201d it added.
\n\u201cThe IHC registrar ordered to send the employee on compulsory retirement and grant him the pension. The employee\u2019s appeal against the decision of the IHC registrar is dismissed,\u201d it stated.
\n\u201cAccording to the record, the employee violated the discipline many times before. The employee was found to have caused damage to the national exchequer by using the judge\u2019s vehicle for 110km. The employee left the place of duty without permission in the middle of the night,\u201d text of the show cause notice read.
\n\u201cThe employee falsely told police officials that he was taking the vehicle on the judge\u2019s orders,\u201d it added.
\nIn his defence, Ishaq said that he was employed at the house of the judge, adding that he was not a driver and a waiter.
\n\u201cMy daughter fell seriously ill that night, and I left in the official car of the judge. I acknowledge my mistake and seek forgiveness,\u201d he pleaded.
\n\u201cDon\u2019t fire me, for I made the mistake while worrying about my daughter,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
