Mrs. Carmelita Lledo against her husband, Atty Cesar V. Lledo (branch
clerk of court of the RTC of Quezon City), filed an Administrative
Complaint for immorality, abandonment and conduct unbecoming a
public official. She discovered that her husband was living with another
woman named Katrina Narvaez with whom he had children. Upon
knowledge of her husband's infidelity, she immediately wrote a formal
letter to the Executive Judge of the Quezon City RTC.
Cesar Jr. asked the Court for retroactive application of the Courts ruling
subsequent to his fathers dismissal, wherein the Court ruled that
despite being dismissed from the service, government employees are
entitled to the monetary equivalent of their leave credits since these
were earned prior to dismissal.
Issues:
1. May a government employee, dismissed from the service for cause, be
allowed to recover the personal contributions he paid to the Government
Service Insurance System (GSIS)?
2. Was Section 9 of CA No. 186 repealed?
Ruling:
1. YES
2. NO
Ratio:
Section 9 of CA No. 186 was not repealed.
Disposition:
WHEREFORE, the foregoing premises considered, the Government Service
Insurance System is hereby DIRECTED to return to Atty. Cesar Lledo his
own premiums and voluntary deposits, if any, plus interest of three per
centum per annum, compounded monthly.
