It is further argued that the appellant has nothing to do with the preparation of bills and release of payment and that it was the concerned official, who was responsible for passing of TA bills and making reimbursement thereof after due verification of the said bills to the satisfaction of the competent authority. In this regard, he draws support from the cross-examination of PW3-Raveen Kamal, Clerk, Bills Branch. Learned counsel for the appellant further submits that even if the double claim has been made by mistake, such claim was required to be duly checked and verified by the Controlling Officer, who was bound to satisfy himself/herself with regard to the travelling allowance claimed. A reference has been made to Travel Allowance Rules set out in the Punjab Civil Service Rules. It is yet further argued that there is absolutely no evidence in support of charges set out against the appellant and hence, the findings rendered by the Inquiring Authority, were frivolous and perverse. It is further argued that in para 32 of the Inquiry Report, the finding of the Inquiring Authority that daily allowance (Twice Over) pertaining to the journey after 17.10.1988 was claimed without any justification and secondly, none of the journeys after 18.10.1988 could possibly be justified with nexus to the discharge of official duty, runs contrary to its earlier finding that it was not within the domain of the Inquiring Authority to look into the justification of the journey because it was the subjective satisfaction of the controlling authority.
