It is the responsibility of any loyal Government Servant to obey the orders of the

authority immediately. But he is absconding from duties w.e.f. 15.09.2016 to till date.

As per leave rules, 1933, every Government employee ought to go on leave with

proper sanction from competent authority. But the officer has gone on absence without

proper sanction of leave. Thus by His unauthorised absence for a period of more than

(2) years, he has not only caused inconvenience in the day to day administration of the

department but also violated the Leave rules and Conduct Rules. From this it is evident

that he has shown gross negligence towards her Legitimate Duties and violating Rule (3) of

APCS (CC&A) Rules, 1964.

Hence the charge.
