PER CURIAM |
||||
| In this case, the judgment debtor entrusted the money to respondent sheriff for the specific purpose of satisfying the judgment debt. Respondent sheriff's receipt of the money in his official capacity and his failure to turn over the amount to the judgment creditor or the clerk of court is an act of misappropriation of funds amounting to dishonesty.[33] His failure to issue official receipts for the amount is also a violation of the General Auditing and Accounting Rules.[34] Likewise, the records of the case reveal that respondent sheriff did not file a Sheriff's Return relative to the writ's implementation and his receipt of the money. | |||||

| Time and again, the Court has stressed that persons involved in the administration of justice ought to live up to the strictest standard of honesty and integrity in the public service. The conduct of every personnel connected with the courts should, at all times, be circumspect to preserve the integrity and dignity of our courts of justice.[10] | |||||
