Heard Sri. V V Ramakrishna, learned counsel for petitioner and learned Deputy Solicitor General for the respondents. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner was appointed as cadet in CRPF with Service No. 1452772026 and was sent for respondent centre from 25.03.2016. He applied for leave for 3. nd training in the 2 5 days from 23.04.2016 to 27.04.2016 and the same was sanctioned. The petitioner is supposed to report to duty on 27.04.2016 but due to his ill-health, he underwent treatment and he did not report to duties in time. Later, the 3 respondent issued notice dated 26.05.2016 calling the petitioner to report to the center immediately with proper explanation for his unauthorized absence. The petitioner replied to the said notice by submitting an explanation enclosing certificate for his unauthorised absence. On 07.07.2016, the 4^^ respondent issued Termination order vide Order No. T.V.1/2016-EC-1II without considering the explanation submitted by the petitioner. medical / ' »7 Learned counsel would further submit that the petitioner preferred appeal before the 2""^ respondent against the Termination Order issued by the 4*'^ respondent and the said appeal was also rejected by order dated 09.01.2017. 4. Learned Deputy Solicitor General appearing for the respondents would submit that the petitioner availed leave for 5 days from 23.04.2016 to 5. 27.04.2016 and did not choose to report to his center, on completion of his leave period. The 3^'^ respondent issued 3 notices to the petitioner seeking explanation for his unauthorised absence and the petitioner gave replies to all the notices stating that he fell sick and underwent treatment which is why he could not report to duties. The post held by the petitioner is an uniformed post which requires utmost discipline. The petitioner showed no such discipline and was absent from the duties without approval from the concerned authorities while he was in training period. The 4‘^ respondent rightly issued termination order of the petitioner following Rule 16A of CRPF Rules on conducting enquiry under Rule 27A. Subsequently, the petitioner preferred appeal before the 2'"'^ respondent and the same was also rightly rejected. 6. Considering the submissions made and on perusal of material available on record, as rightly put by the learned Deputy Solicitor General, the post held by the petitioner is an uniformed post in Reserved Forces. The petitioner obtained leave for 5 days and remained absent from his duties even after completion of sanctioned leave period, that too while he was in training period. The 3'"'^ respondent issued notices to the petitioner seeking explanation for his unauthorised absence and the petitioner explanation that he fell sick and replied to the notices underwent some treatment but gave no such material is placed on record. If such is the case, the petitioner should have informed to his center about his ill-health but he reported the same after petitioner was terminated from soon after his leave period was over receipt of notice from the 3'^^ respondent. The service by 4*^ respondent and the appeal filed respondent is also dismissed as devoid of merits. The petitioner intentionally absent from duty and did not choose to by the petitioner before the 2 nd report to duty. Viewed from any angle, this court does the part of the petitioner.
