==Info==
"In this case, the Court takes into consideration Engr. xxx' long years of service in the Judiciary of about ten (10) years as a mitigating factor that serves to temper the penalty to be imposed on him. Thus, instead of imposing the penalty of dismissal, we hold that the penalty of suspension for two (2) years without pay is proper and commensurate."
