At the outset the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the issue involved in this writ petition is squarely covered by a decision of this Court in W.P.No.1470 of 2009 dated 02.02.2009, wherein this Court has set aside the order of removal passed under identical circumstances and disposed of the writ petition with directions as under: “In that view of the matter, the order passed by the Disciplinary Authority removing the petitioner from service is liable to be set aside. The Disciplinary Authority is at liberty to pass fresh orders dehors the unauthorised absence of the petitioner from 24-12-2008 to 7-1-2009 within four weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.” The learned counsel appearing for the Corporation has not disputed the fact that the petitioner herein is also similarly situated. Accordingly, following the order in W.P.No.1470 of 2009 dated 02.02.2009, the impugned order is set aside and the Writ Petition is disposed of in terms of the directions in W.P.No.1470 of 2009.
