The petitioner is a Village Post Master and in that capacity she was in custody of certain amounts of the postal department. She was also under obligation to transfer the amounts to the Head Office. It is submitted that the inspection took place and there was shortage of cash worth Rs.4,197.85ps. She failed to produce the said amount. She tried to avoid to produce the cash amount on the pretext that her husband is out and the key of the house is with her husband. However, the fact remains that the amount has not been produced and therefore, she has been removed from the Village Post Office. All the authorities are consistently :2: against the petitioner. Since it is a matter of misappropriation of money, which is a misconduct on the part of the petitioner, we refrain to entertain the petition. Hence, petition is dismissed. (R.S. MOHITE, J.) (S.B.
