d. There is no response from the charged Officer end.
e. In the absence of a reply from the charged officer, denying the charge, both the charges are considered to

f. There is a significant change in the procedure as expartie for dealing with such cases of unauthorized
absence from duty of Government Servants. According to rule 18 - A of Fundamental rules, introduced
through GO Ms.No.128 Finance Dated:01.06.2007, “ A Government Servant shall be deemed to have resigned
from service if she is absent with out authorization for a period exceeding one year, provided that a reasonable
opportunity to explain the reason is given to the Govt., Servant before the provision of this rule is invoked” the
authorized absence of the charged officer commenced on 06.09.2013. She continues to be absent till now,
which extends beyond the date of introduction of the new Fundamental Rule 18-A. Hence the charged
officer falls under the purview of the above new rule. The charge memo issued to her takes the place of a
reasonable opportunity envisaged in the above new rule. There is no reply whatsoever from the charged
officer. After ascertaining that there is no Govt., dues from him, Dr. Naga Bharini, Civil Assistant Surgeon,
may be deemed to have resigned from Govt., Service w.e.f., forenoon 06.09.2013.
8. On the basis of documentary evidence adduced in the case before me and in views of the reasons given above,
1 hold that the following charges are proved against
