1 lgc IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 4239 OF 2009 Dr (Mrs.) Anita Prakash Gujar : Petitioner versus The State of Maharashtra & ors. : Respondents. Mr. G N Savagave for the Petitioner Mr S N Patil, AGP, for the Respondent Nos.1 to 5. CORAM : S B MHASE & R M SAVANT, JJ. DATE : 22nd September 2009 P.C. 1. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2. The issue before the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal (MAT for short) was as regards treating the absence of the Petitioner as Extraordinary Leave. From the grant of fitness certificate to the date of joining, the benefit has been given to the Petitioner by the MAT and to that extent the impugned order passed by the authorities has been modified by the MAT. The MAT has observed that the rest of the period cannot be considered for the grant of extraordinary leave and has therefore been held to be unauthorised absence. 2 3. We have perused the impugned judgment and order of the MAT. Considering the legal position, no fault can be found with the order of the MAT. The above Petition is therefore bereft of any merit and is accordingly rejected. [R.M.SAVANT, J] [S.B.MHASE, J]
