Whoever destroys another's protected property—whether intentionally or by mistake—is liable for it. This includes public funds, and liability is not waived because the damaged property belongs to public funds, for the sanctity of public funds is immense. Therefore, he must guarantee what he has destroyed of public funds by paying the due amount to the responsible authority. If that is not possible, he should pay the due amount towards public welfare projects for Muslims.
