While so, petitioner applied for leave<\/p>\n<p>without allowances for taking up employment abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Without getting the leave sanctioned, he absented from<\/p>\n<p>duty and eventually by Ext.P3 order dated 16th August 2006,<\/p>\n<p>he was informed that his application cannot be entertained,<\/p>\n<p>and was called upon to report for duty. Although the period<\/p>\n<p>mentioned in Ext.P3 was extended, petitioner did not report<\/p>\n<p>for duty and even now continue his employment abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the petitioner has been charge sheeted as per<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P5, to which he has submitted Ext.P6 reply. Ext.P6 has<\/p>\n<p>been rejected by Ext.P7 and an Enquiry Officer has been<\/p>\n<p>appointed for conducting enquiry against the petitioner. It<\/p>\n<p>is at that stage seeking to quash Exhibits P3 and P5 and for<\/p>\n<p>WPC 23139\/07<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                               : 2 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>directing the 2nd respondent to grant leave to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, this writ petition is filed.<\/p>\n<p>     2.   It is admitted case that the petitioner absented<\/p>\n<p>from duty without getting the leave sanctioned and this<\/p>\n<p>certainly discloses a misconduct in terms of the standing<\/p>\n<p>orders. If that be so, disciplinary authority is justified in<\/p>\n<p>proceeding with the disciplinary action. Petitioner has filed<\/p>\n<p>his explanation and the Enquiry Officer having been<\/p>\n<p>appointed, enquiry has to be completed.<\/p>\n<p>     3.   I do not find anything illegal in Exts.P3 or P5<\/p>\n<p>warranting interference.        Petitioner has to answer the<\/p>\n<p>charges and prove his innocence before the Enquiry Officer.<\/p>\n<p>     I do not find any merit in this writ petition and it is only<\/p>\n<p>to be dismissed and I do so.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                     ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>Rp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Chandradasan.C. vs The State Of Kerala on 10 August, 2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C) No. 23139 of 2007(D) 1.
