The petitioner was admittedly remained absent for a long period of about five year between December 2017 to May 2022 and according to petitioner he has submitted an application to sanction leave, however, the same is still not considered. Learned counsel for respondents submits that petitioner remained absent without any application for grant of leave or information for a very long period and till date his leave has not been sanctioned, therefore, prayer to pay salary for the said period cannot be considered. Learned counsel further fairly submits that now if an application is filed for said purpose, the same will be considered in accordance with law and if there is any legal impediment, the same will be communicated to petitioner. In aforesaid circumstances, since admittedly petitioner remained absent for about five years without any sanctioned leave, therefore, claim of salary without sanction of leave cannot be granted, however, petitioner will have liberty to approach concerned respondent by way of filing appropriate application along with documents, which will be considered by respondent No.1 within a short period. Accordingly, writ petition is disposed of. Order Date :- 18.7.2025 P. Pandey Digitally signed by :- PUSHPENDRA PANDEY High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
