IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.7822 of 2011 Shidheshwar Singh SON OF LATE SINGHASHAN SINGH RESIDENT OF TURKAUL, P.O. SARTA, P.S. PARASBIGHA, DISTRICT JEHANABAD. Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ---------------------------------- 2 11.08.2011 By a well considered decision contained in annexure-14, the authorities have rightly withheld the salary of the petitioner for six months for un-authorised absence or absence without proper leave having been granted to him. Obviously, from the narration the defence offered by the petitioner that he had to undergo treatment was a bogus kind of defence put up because the finding given therein is that the petitioner had attended the hospital as an out door patient and has produced evidence of purchase of some medicine. That was all. There is nothing to show that he had even been hospitalized or was under regular supervision or treatment of any doctor. Since the petitioner has remained absent from duty on his own without grant of proper leave, he cannot get salary for the period he has not worked. There is nothing arbitrary or malafide on the part of the respondents to pass such an order. Persistent - 2 - effort on the part of the petitioner will not make out a case for grant of indulgence because the petitioner has approached the High Court even earlier on this count and the authorities have taken decision in terms of annexure- 14. This writ application has no merit. It is dismissed. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
