The petitioner was asked to submit his pension papers, however, pension was not paid and, therefore, the petitioner filed Original Application No.305 of 2003 seeking direction to the respondents to release pensionary benefits. The said application was disposed of vide order dated 1.5.2003 directing the respondents to take into account the representation made by the petitioner and pass a reasoned and speaking order within a period of three months of receipt of certified copy of the order. 9.

This Court has taken into account the fact that leave application was made by the petitioner on the pretext that he was ill, however, at that point in time, relevant medical certificates were not appended with the leave application. 20. This Court has taken note of the fact that the petitioner was directed to appear before the Civil Surgeon, Farrukhabad, however, the petitioner did not present himself for his medical examination. Contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner was never summoned by the Civil Surgeon, Farrukhabad, cannot be accepted for the reason that it is the petitioner, who had applied for medical leave and, therefore, was required to give evidence of the fact that the petitioner was, in fact, ailing and, therefore, his leave was required to be sanctioned.
