In the case of Krushnakant B Parmar Vs Union of India and another reported in (2012) 1 Supreme Court Cases (L&S) 609, the employee was principally charged for unauthorised absence from duty during three consecutive periods: (i) 3-10-1995 to 7-11- 1995 (36 days); (ii) 9-11-1995 to 10-12-1995 (32 days); and (iii) 10- 12-1995 to 2-8-1995 (234) days, in violation of Rules 3 (1) (ii) and 3 (1) (iii) of the Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1964. It has been held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court that if absence is due to compelling circumstances under which it was not possible to report for or perform duty, such absence cannot be held to be 17 wilful and employee guilty of misconduct. In the said case, neither inquiry officer nor appellate authority had found the absence of government servant wilful despite his specific defence that he was prevented from attending duty and was not allowed to sign attendance register. Evidence produced by the Government employee to substantiate his claim was ignored by the authorites concerned and on the basis of irrelevant facts and surmises he was held guilty. Hon'ble Supreme Court affirmed the order of Tribunal and quashed the dismissal order. Considering that the appellant had suffered a lot since 1996, when proceedings were initiated against him, the matter was not remitted to disciplinary authority and it was directed to reinstate the Government employee and pay him 50% back wages.
