PER CURIAM |
||||
| Under Section 22, Rule IV of the Civil Service Rules, dishonesty and grave misconduct are grave offenses punishable by dismissal from the service even if it is the first offense. Respondent's resignation does not render the case moot. Resignation is not a way out to evade administrative liability when a court personnel is facing administrative sanction.[12] In one case,[13] we found a utility worker guilty of dishonesty and grave misconduct in the loss of a .45 caliber pistol offered in evidence in a criminal case, despite the court's acceptance of his resignation. | |||||
