Judgment 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. S.J. Rahman, G.P. 7 for the respondents. 2. The writ petitioner seeks direction upon the respondents to grant him medical leave treating his period of absence on duty and to further direct them to release his due salary with effect from September, 1991. 3. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that though the petitioner absented for more than 900 days from duty, he has submitted medical certificates. It is also submitted that the petitioner initially was a Constable and he was promoted as A.S.I, and subsequently to the post of Sub Inspector and thereafter he retired gracefully but the authorities did not treat his period of absence on duty despite his best efforts. It is further submitted by learned counsel that for redressal of grievances, the petitioner filed his representation before respondent no. 5 the Superintendent of Police, Aurangabad but the same also till date has not been disposed of. 4. This matter was heard on 27th January, 2005 and on that date, this court noticed the necessary facts pertaining to long absence of the petitioner and thus directed the. state counsel to inform this court as to under what circumstances the petitioner was allowed to superannuate gracefully. 5. Pursuant to order of this court, now, a counter affidavit has been filed duly sworn by the Inspector General of Police, Headquarter where they have accepted the faults of the concerned police officer and now they are making endeavours to initiate departmental proceeding against the erring officers. According to the respondents, the petitioner absented for about 967 days which comes to around three years. It is almost surprising that even when the petitioner absented for about three years, how he got due promotion treating him to be in service. However, the fact remains that till date neither his period of absence has been treated to be as extraordinary leave nor any disciplinary action has been taken against him and I believe that by now the petitioner must be getting his retiral dues. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances and extraordinary background of the case, I do not wish to pass any positive order directing respondent authorities. However, the representation which is said to have been filed by the petitioner, may be considered by the concerned authorities. 7. 6.
