Division Bench (A. Muhamed Mustaque & P. Krishna Kumar, JJ) dismisses writ appeal by aided-school employee seeking pensionary credit for a period of unauthorised absence treated as non-duty; holds that absence without prior sanction of leave cannot be reckoned for pensionary benefits, affirming the learned Single Judge's view in WP(C) No.36285 of 2017.

If a Government servant or an employee in an aided school remains absent unauthorizedly without obtaining prior sanction of leave, such a person cannot take advantage of that absence for the purpose of reckoning the period for pensionary benefits. ¶27
