2. The brief fkets af the case as submitted by the applicant are as follows:

The Applicant while working as Superintendent of Service Tax retired on superannuation wa. J1G12015. On iis retirement he had i458 days of Farmed Leave in his credit Aner deducting 9 days from his Earned Leave account for 83 days ECL availed by him daring his deputational ~ $ See tenure, the monetary component of balance of 136 days EL ought to have been ne paid to him but the 2 Respondent vide order dated O7.O2.201< oy for 98 AVS thus arb bitranily deducting 38 Applicants Leave Account. This dedaehon TERCOTERINET ATIVE 4 OA IOP of DOTS availed 38 days EL which had not been debited from his account sans any materialidecumentary ovidence. Pursuant to such presumption authorized deletions, corrections, modifications and tampering af his Service Book was carried out afer his retirement and that too without notice or intimation uy the Applicant. Even mandatory verification of the Applicant's Service Book carried out by the Pay & Accounts Officer on completion of 24 years of service ihe.

from 13.04.1978 to 31.12.2006) had not found any discrepancy with regard te the said 38 days EL or disputed the total EL. at his credit. The Applicant submitted a detailed representation to the Respondent on 17.04.2014 followed with one more representation dated 22.05.2014 and farther cansed a! egal notice on 14.09.2014 to defray payment of monetary component of 38 days of Famed Leave but nothing evoked a response fram the 2™ Respondent, Hence, the applicant has fled this G.A seeking the above reliefs interalla on the Inllowing grounds:

©
i) The non payment of cash equivalent of total 136 days of Earned Leave by making unauthorized deduction of 38 days fram his Leave Account by the 2" responden is ex facie arbitrary, illegal and bad in law, u) Eis a well sett torn of law that when an adverse onder IAPS on the civil rights of the individual is passed it should be preceded with a fair opportunity which is in tune with the doctrine of natural justice but the impugned action of the 2 Respondent is blatantly violative of the principles of natural justice.

oy account is Lanlamenially flawed and im patent lransgression of B sof the pe.

ww) 'Tihe tmipagned acto 2° respondent te deduct dhe 38 dave qstruing Wiad the sam ies not been from the Berned Loss see debited for the leave availed by him in Nineties (1.6, 33 days in 1990 and S days In 199K) fs against all consideration of faets and law vi As per SR 199 "Every step in ¢ Government servant's CiTicial ( must be recorded in his Service Beek and each nested by the Head of eo dof his Offoe, or, Whe fb ead af Oc e, by his in wnedia ate superior The Hes 8 gee ice must see that all entries are doly made and atested and that the Bock conieine na erasure ar overaritiy j < vorrection being neatly made and properly attested."\ As can be seen above § is important that each entry fo the Service Book of aGuvemment servant should he attested by the He and the baek should aot contain any erasure or overwriting bul:

The 2" Respondent in the instant case bed not adhered te the procedure defined under SR 202 for the Applicant was neither shown the Service Hook during his service nor his signature obtained of Raving Inspected the same. On the contrary the 28 Respondent seem to have made unauthorized deletions, corrections and tampering with the Serdece Register afler his retirement resulting iy monetary loss to hin by deducting 38 days EL from his leave account, This action of the 2"

respondent | ig HOt Tenable In law and suffers from the vice of illegality and arbitrariness.
