ORDER

1. M. SALEEM CHAUDHRY (CHAIRMAN) .‑In this reference the Medical Superintendent, Mayo Hospital, Lahore, has desired the clarification as to the treatment to be extended to the appellant for the period he remained out of service. Since the appellant has not altogether been exonerated, therefore our answer to the reference is that for the period from 25th February, 1979 to 7th May, 1979; during which the appellant remained under suspension or away from duty, he was entitled to 3/4th of the salary.

2. While taking the decision we are influenced by the fact that in terms of the decision of this Tribunal, the appellant has not been found guilty or tiny fraud. He was merely negligent for which he will lose 1/4th of his salary for the entire period. The reference is disposed of accordingly.

3. Order accordingly
