| Decision |
The petition seeking leave to appeal was dismissed as the petitioner failed to provide satisfactory explanations for his absence from duty. The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Federal Service Tribunal which found the petitioner to be a habitual absentee without authorized leave, and stated that the earlier absence was relevant to the current matter. The court maintained that the petitioner did not apply for leave properly and did not consult the required authorities. Therefore, the refusal of leave and the initiation of departmental proceedings were justified. |
