BRION, J.:

 

 

We review the petition filed under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court by petitioner Francisco T. Duque III, in his capacity as Chairman of the Civil Service Commission (CSC), assailing the decision[1] and the resolution[2] issued by the Court of Appeals (CA)[3] in CA-G.R. SP No. 01682-MIN.  The CA modified CSC Resolution No. 061714,[4] finding Florentino Veloso (respondent) guilty of dishonesty, by reducing the penalty imposed by the CSC from dismissal from the service to suspension from office for one year without pay.
