LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
During the pendency of the present administrative matter, respondent Sahi suffered a stroke and resigned from office in January 2011.  Her claim for separation benefits and accrued leave credits though cannot be processed and released for lack of requirements.  Nonetheless, respondent Sahi's resignation does not render this case moot.  Resignation is not a way out to evade administrative liability when a court employee is facing administrative sanction.[10]

PER CURIAM
We cannot overemphasize the need for honesty and integrity on the part of all those who are in the service of the Judiciary.[27] We have often stressed that the conduct required of court personnel, from the presiding judge to the lowliest clerk of court, must always be beyond reproach and circumscribed with the heavy burden of responsibility as to let them be free from any suspicion that may taint the Judiciary. We condemn, and will never countenance any conduct, act or omission on the part of all those involved in the administration of justice, which would violate the norm of public accountability and diminish or even just tend to diminish the faith of the people in the Judiciary.[28]
