ALFREDO BRENCIS, COMPLAINANT, VS. ELY FAJARDO, RESPONDENT.
ABAD SANTOS,
J.:
This is an administrative case filed by Mr. Alfredo Brencis against Deputy Sheriff Ely B. Fajardo,
formerly of the Court of First Instance of Rizal, Makati Branch, and then with the CFI of Manila, Warrant
Section, for dishonesty and misconduct.
It is alleged that respondent collected from complainant the amount of
P250.00 and required him to come to Manila
to get a Workmen’s Compensation Commission check in the amount of P2,478.84, instead of mailing said check to him in Tigaon, Camarines Sur.
This case however has become moot and academic. In Administrative Matter
No. P-312, entitled “Lumen Policarpio v.
Ely B. Fajardo, ” this Court, thru Mr. Justice
Antonio P. Barredo, found the same respondent guilty
of gross misconduct and grave abuse of authority in the performance of his
duties as special sheriff in Civil Case No. 202468, and, forthwith
“ordered that respondent Ely B. Fajardo, deputy
sheriff of the Court of First Instance of Rizal, be
immediately dismissed from the service with forfeiture of all benefits
otherwise due him.” (August 3,
1977)
WHEREFORE, this administrative case against respondent Ely
B. Fajardo is hereby dismissed.
SO ORDERED.
