Unknown vs Union Of India Through Its General ... on 6 December, 2016
6. Concededly, the relevant absence period of the applicant was later on converted into extra ordinary leave and as per point 530 of Railway Establishment Code (Vol - I), no increment can be earned during extra ordinary leave period. Inadvertently, the applicant was allowed increment for said period, which was subsequently rectified by respondents by passing impugned order as per settled law, if there is mistake, Authorities are allowed to rectify it as and when the same comes to their notice. This is so held in the case of Jagdish Prajapat vs. the State of Rajasthan and Ors. 1998 (2) ATJ 286 and in U.O.I. & Ors. Vs. Narendar Singh 2008 (2) SCC 756. Since applicant has not disputed that he cannot earn increment during that period, therefore, we find no infirmity in the impugned orders dated 03.06.2014 and 24.08.2015. The O.A. is therefore dismissed being devoid of any merit.
