 "summary": "The judgment of the Patna High Court records the following account. Police constable proceeded on 40 days' earned leave expiring 8 January 1983, had his extension request rejected, and reported for duty only on 9 April 1983, after which a departmental proceeding for 90 days' unauthorised absence ended in dismissal on 3 July 1985; his appeal and memorial were rejected. He pleaded illness supported by a medical certificate and argued dismissal was disproportionate. The Patna High Court (Navin Sinha, J.) held he led no evidence for the illness plea, the enquiry finding was not perverse, the 90-day overstay counted as unauthorised absence for a member of a uniformed disciplined force, and the non-speaking appellate order caused no prejudice since the memorial order was reasoned. The writ application was dismissed on 14 February 2008, leaving the dismissal undisturbed; the incident date above is the start of the 90-day absence spell (9 January - 9 April 1983), and the writ number is not stated in the retrieved text.",
