                                      JUDGMENT

Radhakrishnan,J.

Writ Petition was preferred against the order passed by the

Central Administrative Tribunal in O.A.No.409 of 2003 holding that

there was no misconduct and directed to reinstate the respondent in

service. The only charge levelled against the delinquent officer was

that she had failed to account for three registered letters. There is

no case for the Department that she had caused any monetary loss to

the Department and there is no previous instances of misconduct as

well.

2. Taking into account all aspects of the matter, the Tribunal

held that no case of misconduct as such, involving lack of integrity, has

been made out. We find no error in the order passed by the Tribunal.

Writ Petition is dismissed.

Judge.
