State Of U.P.& Ors vs J.P.Saraswat

The Supreme Court addressed the case of a veterinary surgeon whose termination from service was challenged after he was found guilty of unauthorized absence and going abroad without permission. The Court noted that while the charges were established, the High Court had quashed the termination on the grounds of the State Government's inaction regarding the respondent's leave applications and failure to notify him of potential termination. The Supreme Court held that the High Court's reasoning was flawed and reinstated the termination, emphasizing the importance of adherence to service rules and the consequences of unauthorized absence under Service Law.
