Legal Question in Employment Law in Pakistan

good day,
i am an officer in an autonomous body(govt organization). when i joined this organization i could not get proper relieving from my previous employer which was also a govt organization (as they were not ready to relieve me ).that is why i concealed about my previous service.
i joined my current employer without proper reliving and after one month i sent my resignation to my previous employer during the meantime, salary of one month from my previous employer was transferred to my band account. which means i took pay from two govt deppts for one month simultaneously . Later on i was removed by my previous employer on the ground of unauthorized absence.
now i am very worried that if my current organization get to know somehow about getting salary from another govt depptt simoltaneously i may land into some trouble . it is noteworthy that i tried to return that salary to my previous employer but they did not respond.
I want to know is it a serious misconduct and what would be the level of penalty? would i lose my job for such tiny mistake? God forbid.
For God sake give me a satisfactory answer i will be grateful to u
