SUBIR KR. DEY vs UNION OF INDIA REPRESENTED BY THE GENERAL MANAGER — C.A. No. 11835/2016

Summary of C.A. No. 011835/2016 (Subir Kr. Dey v. Union of India) Subir Kr. Dey, a railway employee, appealed his removal from service for unauthorized absence. The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal, rejecting his claim that medical certificates justified his absence. Though a June 2006 certificate advised rest until mid-June, he failed to resume duty despite being declared fit; a subsequent October 2007 certificate left the intervening absence unexplained. The Court affirmed the High Court's and CAT's findings that the misconduct was proven and punishment justified, dismissing the appeal on 16 June 2022.
