Holding
The petition is dismissed for non‑prosecution, and the order stands.
Summary
The petitioner, Ramendra Prasad Mishra, a government employee, challenged an order dated 1‑Nov‑2013 issued by the Regional Deputy Director of Education, which treated his salary for the period after a transfer as unsanctioned leave because he did not join the transfer posting. He sought a writ of certiorari to quash that order, contending that he had not committed any lapse. No counsel appeared for either side on the dates of hearing. The Court noted the absence of any representation and observed that the petitioner had failed to prosecute the petition. Consequently, the High Court dismissed the writ petition for non‑prosecution, leaving the impugned order undisturbed.
Issues considered
- Whether the order dated 1‑Nov‑2013 treating the petitioner’s salary as unsanctioned leave can be quashed by a writ of certiorari?
- Whether the petitioner’s failure to appear amounts to abandonment of the petition?
Subjects
- writ petition
- certiorari
