GURJEEWAN GAREWAL vs SUMITRA DASH .

The Supreme Court addressed the case of Mrs. Sumitra Dash, who was deemed to have permanently left her position at PGIMER due to her failure to resume duty after an extraordinary leave granted under specific conditions. The Court held that the rejection of her request to join duty was justified as she did not comply with the conditions of her leave, thus affirming PGIMER's decision. The Court emphasized the importance of adherence to service rules and the consequences of non-compliance under the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965.
