Case History
Case Summary: S.C. Saxena v. Union of India (CA 280/2003) Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed S.C. Saxena's appeal on 21 February 2006, upholding the compulsory retirement order imposed by the Intelligence Bureau for unauthorized absence. The court found Saxena guilty of misconduct for remaining absent from July 1989 to November 1990 after refusing to report to his transferred posting in Tezpur, despite medical certificates and accumulated leave. However, the court clarified that Saxena cannot be held guilty for the five-day period (7-11 July 1989) when he had applied for earned leave. Key Finding: The court rejected arguments that available leave should have permitted his reinstatement, holding that accepting such reasoning would encourage indiscipline in public service.
